Pumpkin Seeds

Quick verdict

Status: unknown - for your review.

Confidence: low (AI-prepopulated from general food properties, not your own reactions).

Claimed concern

Pumpkin seeds (seeds of Cucurbita). High in fat, zinc and magnesium and low in sugar. They contain cucurbitin, traditionally used as an antiparasitic. Main practical concern is fat rancidity/oxidation if stored warm or long. Not a nightshade.

Decision notes

Low-sugar, generally friendly; use fresh, well-stored seeds and log separately from pumpkin flesh/shoots.
