Again, apologies to those of you who can't eat seeds. My daughter can and I discovers these little gems and plan to add them to her snacks, smoothies (ground up of course) etc. High in protein and an excellent source of many of the minerals our little Crohnies need.
Serving Size and Calories
One serving of raw pumpkin seeds is a quarter cup and is 187 calories.

One quarter-cup of pepitas provides 6 g of carbohydrates and 1.35 g of dietary fiber, or 2 percent of your recommended daily value of carbohydrates and 5 percent of dietary fiber. They are high in protein, with 8 g, or 17 percent of your recommended daily value of protein.
