Well, who knew? When we gut our pumpkin next month, I will pull out the seeds and roast them up. Actually, my husband will because I don’t like all that goo. LOL.
I have eaten all of those seeds. I love pumpkin seeds and make my own this time of year.
I love roasted pumpkin seeds (a friend roasts them every year at a pumpkin carving party she hosts.) I’ll have to look into the other seeds too!
Wow, good to know! I’m going to buy a few bags and start sprinkling them on everything!
I’d never tried roasted pumpkin seeds until this last year. They were yummy!!
I had no idea! This is great with pumpkin seed coming soon! I have tried roasted pumpkin seeds before but not the others. I will have to check this out!
Very interesting…I’ve never had any of these before, I’ve only tried sunflower seeds!
It’s definitely pumpkin seed time for me. I usually roast them myself but this is easier. I’m going to pick up all of these.
Yum. Instead of poppy seeds, we started adding hemp seeds on top of our baked bread. Give is nice texture.
Oh, I will have to try that. I have only put them in a smoothie.
I love adding pumpkin seeds to muesli, they actually seem to add a different flavour to everything. x
I love pepitas on salads and bowls! Especially in the fall, when I can roast them myself just the way I like them.
I haven’t heard of Hemp Seed before. That is a great tip, thank you!
Good to know! We’ve had chia seeds,but otherwise don’t get any of these regularly… thanks for sharing!
Goodness, I don’t eat ANY of these! I guess I need to get on the ball, eh?!
I’ve tried chia seeds. I haven’t tried the other two, though.
I love roasted pumpkin seeds so I’m glad to see that they also have healthy qualities. I’m going to be eating them a lot more often.
I’ve never eaten these seeds before, I should start to!
I’d never heard of hemp hearts before. Thanks for enlightening.
The only ones I’ve tried so far are pumpkin seeds. I’ll have to look into incorporating more into my diet for sure!
Thanks for the great post! I already knew about pumpkin and chia seeds. I eat them all the time. I didn’t know about hemp seed though.
i eat them all daily. I also eat flaxseed alot. I sprinkle them in my dinner salads
Wow. Would have never guessed. I love pumpkin seeds.
I haven’t tried the chia or the hemp seeds. I’ve only heard great things about them both.
Confession, I’ve never tired any of these seeds. Now I will be giving them a try, I had no idea they were important or anything! I will try them now!
I do eat all these and I’m excited to learn more about them. We also tried the Hemp milk and it was super delicious.
I’ve never thought about the importance of eating seeds! Thank you for sharing this!
Hadn’t tried the Hemp Seeds. I usually go toward the Pumpkin now in the fall and the Chai in the spring!
I have tried the Chia seeds and love them. They are great in apple sauce!
I love pumpkin seeds. You’re right, they are so incredibly good for you!
I had no idea that hemp seeds were good for you. I’ll have to try them. I already eat pumpkin and chia seeds.
I have never actually eaten pumpkin seeds. I know that sounds crazy, especially considering how big a deal they are this time of year. But I cannot get over the oohey gooey grossness of the pumpkin slime when we carve it out. I will have to try them this year… I don’t think I will be roasting them myself though.
Have someone pull them out and put them in a colander. Run hot water over them until the slime goes down the drain. The leftover pumpkin wont be slimy. Then you can detach them from the pumpkin without the gooey issue.
Thanks for all the great options I will have to try Chia and Hemp seeds. I love Pumpkin seeds they make a great snack.
Pumpkin seeds are a great choice with the season! I gotta tell my hubby to buy me more pumpkins 🙂
Sooo, i’m not eating any of these currently! Fail! I’ll need to change that asap.
Mmm, I love pumpkin seeds. I’ll need to incorporate the others now!
I will need to make sure to add these to my diet. I am always looking for ways to be healthier.
Hurrah that pumpkin seeds are on the list. I love them so!
I used to LOVE eating pumpkin seeds when I was younger! Never realized how good for you they were, gonna have to get back into them especially since it’s pumpkin season!
Is it weird that I’ve never had roasted pumpkin seeds before? I plan on roasting some up this year, though.
I didn’t know about chia or hemp. I absolutely love pumpkin but normally wait to have those until the kids tear them out of the pumpkins. I have seen many chia seeds inside drinks. Still uncertain about these but I may look up a few recipes.
I actually have chia seeds in my cabinet, time to use them!
I have a super boost seed complex that I try to eat every so often. These are all in there.
I add chia seeds to my breakfast every morning! Thanks for sharing about them.,
I love Chia seeds, I’ve never tried hemp hearts before, adding it to my grocery list, thanks for sharing!
I’ve never heard of Hemp hearts before…. but love Chia and pumpkin seeds!
Those pumpkin seeds are in my near future! I will have to check the others out too.
I’ve never tried any of these.. looks like I need to get on it!
i’m so bad at eating nuts. I’ve never even tried the pumpkin seeds.
Can you believe I just tried Chia seeds for the first time a few weeks ago! I’ve never had hemp seeds, I’ll have to try those.
I just had chia for the first time over the summer. I let them soak up some almond milk and they end up like a pudding. I mix it with my smoothie. So good.
