Among the health benefits of pumpkin seeds, we chose to mention that they are a good source of omega-3, and their tryptophan-rich content helps us avoid insomnia.
With a portion of approximately 600mg of tryptophan, pumpkin seeds help people who suffer from mild insomnia.
Also, vegetarians and vegans have at their disposal a good source of omega-3: a quarter cup of pumpkin seeds contains the equivalent of approximately 40 mg of this precious category of fatty acids.
