Pumpkin seeds need to make a run for it and get the heck out of October! True, they are the unsung heroes of Halloween (and often get trashed along with the pumpkin) but there are 11 other months and thanks to the bulk section, you can enjoy these all year round. Truth be told, a healthier seed is hard to find – they’ve made the short list of superfoods you should be eating. And when you wrap your head around the versatility of this yummy little seed, it’ll start showing up everywhere.

Like where?  – salads, soups, stir-fries, pastas, pestos, dips, granola, breads, cookies, muffins, pies – that’s where!

I keep a jar of these in my pantry at all times. Pumpkin seeds – who knew? Now we both do.
