Nutritional Benefits Gerbs Sea Salted Pumpkin Seeds

Key nutritional benefits

Heart health: Packed with healthy fats (including omega-3s and omega-6s), fiber, and antioxidants, pumpkin seeds can help lower bad cholesterol and blood pressure, which supports heart health.

Immune support: High levels of zinc and antioxidants strengthen the immune system, helping the body fight off infections.

Blood sugar regulation: The high magnesium content helps with insulin regulation, making them beneficial for managing blood sugar levels.

Improved sleep: Pumpkin seeds are a natural source of tryptophan, an amino acid that helps the body produce serotonin and melatonin, which promotes better sleep.

Digestive health: They are a great source of dietary fiber, which promotes regular bowel movements and overall digestive health.

Antioxidant properties: They contain antioxidants like carotenoids and vitamin E that protect cells from damage by free radicals and reduce inflammation.

Bone health: The high magnesium content in pumpkin seeds contributes to better bone density and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Prostate health: Research suggests that the high content of phytosterols and lignans may benefit prostate health.

Storage Recommendations

For the best flavor and freshness, we recommend storing your Gerbs in an airtight container in a cool, dark place such as a pantry or kitchen cabinet, away from sunlight and heat sources like the oven.

Each time the container is opened, oxygen sneaks in and can speed up rancidity, so try to keep only about one pound of product accessible at a time.

While Gerbs can be frozen, we don’t recommend it. Freezing and thawing can change the natural cell structure, which may affect texture and taste. Keep them cool, dry, and sealed tight for the best experience!
