Soaking Your Seeds

Pumpkin seeds contain over 60 nutrients and make for a great snack!They also are loaded with antioxidants so add them to smoothies, granola, or eat them alone as in this Pumpkin Pie Seed recipe!

The best way to prepare nuts or seeds is to soak them first to make them more digestible in order to absorb all of the protein and minerals. Pumpkin seeds contain phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors which make them difficult to digest. That is why some people will complain about what nuts do to their stomach. By soaking them, these acids are neutralized make the nutrients much more absorbable.
