Pumpkin seeds offer a large number of nutrients that are wonderful for the human body including amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, and a wealth of minerals such as calcium, potassium, niacin, and phosphorous. They are high in most of the B vitamins, and vitamins C, D, E, and K. They are rich in beta carotene that can be converted into vitamin A as needed by the body, and also rich in the eye-protective carotenoid lutein.

Sprinkle SPUNKS on salads instead of croutons for a delicious, nutritious crunch and a kick of spice! Non-spicy flavors also available.
