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

I LIVE off these things for snack. I buy them in the grocery store. Only 4g carbs to 8g of protein, but like 160 calories for that 1/4 cup, so I keep to that 1/4 cup a day. When I run out of these, I tend to graze on other things and stop losing weight. And yes, they taste awesome! Tonya

I'll have to see if I can find them locally. i know I can get them at the Co-op in Roanoke, but that is way on the other side of town from my normal haunts. I think I would be happier with the pumpkin seeds than with the sunflower seeds, because they are bigger. Thanks for the info you guys. Lois
