Top 21 Most Annoying Hollywood Food Trends
8. Pumpkin Seeds
Seeds are gaining popularity in the health food community, and many companies are adding them to their products: granola bars, cereals, crackers, and even cookies. Pumpkin seeds are one of the newcomers to the world of healthy eating, but it seems that now that they are on the scene, people in L.A. can’t get enough of them.
This fact is really no surprise when you consider that pumpkin seeds are high in vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, and heart-healthy fats.
Pumpkin seeds are one of the best sources of iron, zinc, and magnesium that you can get. Iron is essential in helping the blood to deliver oxygen throughout the body, while magnesium is helpful in keeping the heart and bones strong. Zinc, on the other hand, plays an important role in skin health, wound-healing, and strengthening the immune system. You can snack on them alone, add them to your favorite trail mix or to your bread, salads, pastas and cookies.
