10 Pumpkin Seed Benefits: Why You Should Eat Them Daily
10 Pumpkin Seed Benefits: Why You Should Eat Them Daily. Every Indian kitchen throws them away. Every time someone cooks kaddu ki sabzi or kaddu ka halwa, the seeds — along with their stringy flesh — go directly into the bin. This complete investigation shows what pumpkin seeds actually contain at a molecular level: 30g of complete protein per 100g, 592mg of magnesium (the highest of any common seed), 7.81mg of zinc (one of the richest plant sources available), and tryptophan, the amino acid that your brain converts into serotonin and then melatonin. It covers the clinical trial with 1,431 men that tested pumpkin seed extract for prostate health, the precise daily dose (28g — one small handful), five practical ways to eat them in an Indian kitchen, and the side effects and drug interactions you need to know about. Researched from primary sources — USDA nutrient data, PubMed-indexed trials, ICMR guidelines — not recycled wellness content.
