Pumpkin seeds??

I went to see my surgeon today. My appointment went well. The nurse was eating pumpkin seeds. She asked me if I wanted to taste them. OMG, they were great. I asked her where she got them from. She said a farmers market close to where she lived. She said that she was told a place called Eats had them here in Blacksburg. Its an organic store. So, when I got back home I went there. Low in the hole, they had them. I know that there are 8grams of protein in 1/4 cup. I also know the carbs were low as well as the calories. I did not write the specific numbers. Just in case anyone wanted to try them. Melissa

Yummy! I haven't had pumpkin seeds in a long time. When I was little we would carve the pumpkin, take the seeds out, wash them, then salt and roast them. They were so good. I see them in the grocery store but never really thought to check out how much protein they had. I know sunflower seeds have protein in them too and are very low carb. I had a few last night for the first time since surgery. Thanks for the idea! Kay
