Benefits
Pumpkin seeds are loaded with nutrients that are needed to help you function. On top of the nutritional benefits pumpkin seeds provide, there might also be some direct health benefits of consuming the seeds.

Provide antioxidants
Pumpkin seeds contain antioxidants including phenols and flavonoids.

Phenols help fend off cell-damaging compounds in the body, which may protect against aging and disease. Their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer effects have also been well-documented.

Flavonoids have been linked to a broad spectrum of health-promoting effects, including protection against cancer, artery hardening, and Alzheimer’s disease. Like phenols, flavonoids counter compounds that damage healthy cells and have strong anti-inflammatory effects.

These antioxidant effects may be even greater with roasted pumpkin seeds. Research shows that, after roasting, pumpkin seeds have more phenols and flavonoids.1 Roasted pumpkin seeds are available for purchase, but roasting pumpkin seeds is also something people might do with the seeds they scrape out when carving a pumpkin.
