I love these pumpkin seeds:
http://superseedz.com/allergy_free_snacks

Per ounce, you get 140-160kcal, 2-4 net carbs, plus 2 g fiber and 7-9g protein.

I find them in the all natural aisle of Giant, or at whole foods.

My favorite are the cinnamon ones- only 3net carbs!
The cocoa joe and itialiano (tastes kind of like pizza) are also amazing.

you also get 10% of your RDA for iron, 15% for zinc and 35% for magnesium.

I'm jealous. There was a brand here in Canada called Spitz that I loved. The flavour was "hot and spicy", but they weren't all that hot. Now I can only find "seasoned" and they're disappointing.

I do like the whole shell, though. Am I weird? The SuperSeeds are shell-less, right?

yes, these are hulled- i like them both ways.

if you are doing whole sells from the actual pumpkin, try roasting lime juice and crushed red pepper- that is my favorite!

I made dinner for the family (kids, grandkids and ex) last weekend ~ a yummy thai pumpkin and seafood recipe from Nigella Lawson, served over rice for the family with sides of a big salad and lightly sauteed snow peas.

The recipe called for pumpkin or butternut squash and for ease I had planned to use the pre-cubed butternut at the supermarket, but naturally they were out of it. It's fall though and they had pumpkins, so I bought one which I then had to peel, core, chop up, etc.

I had all these leftover pumpkin seeds I was going to trash but decided "why waste?" and ended up tossing them with some salt, cinnamon, vanilla and toasted sesame oil and roasting until they were a nice golden brown.

Instant appetizer! They were awesome. But awesome with less work sound excellent.

I have never seen Super Seedz locally but there is a Whole Foods across the river so might have to check. The local natural foods place carries some brand of pumpkin seeds, forget the name. They are not bad but not awesome either.
