Pumpkin

Roasted pumpkin seeds

Don't discard the seeds from your pumpkin as they are full of valuable nutrients and easy to transform into a tasty snack!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups of pumpkin seeds
2 tsp melted butter - olive oil or vegetable oil also work well
seasoning - optional. Garlic and/or cajun powder; cayenne pepper.

Method

1 Preheat oven to 150°C/300°F/Gas Mark 2.
Clean and wash the pumpkin seeds in running water - It is fine to leave some strings and pulp on your seeds as it adds flavour!
Toss pumpkin seeds in a bowl with the melted butter or oil and seasonings of your choice.
Spread pumpkin seeds in a single layer on baking sheet.
Bake for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.

Everything you need is in the shop. Our butchers, bakery and deli counters are open seven days - and in season you can pick the fruit for this yourself out on the farm.

Did you know that pumpkin can be used as a skin exfoliator, helping to remove dead skin from its surface and brighten your complexion? Pumpkins are great for your skin as they are packed with vitamins A, C, and E (all known to fight wrinkles); plus beta-carotene, zinc, potassium and antioxidants which help to eliminate redness!
