In honor of national pumpkin seed day

In honor of national pumpkin seed day, the first Wednesday of October, I’m reposting this post about my ‘Persephone’s dress …’ (see link below)

I have also learned some fun facts about pumpkin seeds:

- great source of zinc, iron, & pumpkin seeds has 8.5% of plant based protein in 1 Oz. 

So eat those pumpkin seeds!!! 

And first eaten in 7000 B.C.

-Pumpkins themselves are thought to have first been discovered in North America and were widely used by Native Americans. Actual pumpkin seeds have been found in Mexico and date back as far as 7000 B.C.Pumpkin seeds have been eaten throughout history for sustenance and medicinal purposes too.
