Well snap. I'll have to get my doctor to test my magnesium and zinc levels, I have no idea how I'm doing with those. Those are some good facts about pumpkin seeds. All I know is you can get a lot of zinc if you melt pennies.

Yeah, according to a book I've read pumpkinseeds have 270mg magnesium (RDA being 300mg) and 6,6mg zinc (RDA being 15mg) per 100g.

Oysters and veal liver or beef have more zinc which is better absorbable, sprouted wheat has more too.. and cocoa or sunflower seeds have more magnesium… but pumpkinseeds are a good easy vegetarian snack!

(of course if people eat up too much other oils or fats or minerals it's better to go easy on them, but many people nowadays are magnesium deficient and don't even know it!)

Thanks. Dang, I did not know that pumpkin seeds are a good source o' magnesium and zinc, I will keep that in mind. Good job composting your pumpkins, that's where mine are too.

lol, love your writing style!! ))

I wish I had the wisdom to extract the guts of the defenseless pumpkins killed throughout the year in time (instead of relying on others to do it!) – they're now making compost (the seeds, not the significant others!) & I have to buy pumpkinseeds in stores as they're a great source of magnesium and zinc and other good things!!

Will hopefully take precautions next year!!

No problem; I’d like to try to grow my own pumpkin next year, I’ve read it’s not TOO hard

thanks for the recipes – I have some pumpkins – one of which we actually grew in our backyard that will have a second chance at being something great.
