Pumpkin Seeds: Separating Health Hype from Culinary Reality
Pumpkin seeds are gaining popularity online due to exaggerated health claims, with social media often promoting ingredients as magical fixes or vilifying them. While pumpkin seeds offer protein, zinc, magnesium, and healthy fats beneficial for hair and skin, they are unlikely to reverse significant issues like hair fall or hormonal imbalances. Their tryptophan content for sleep benefits is minimal. For practical use, pumpkin seeds can be incorporated into Indian cooking as a zero-oil gravy base or a substitute for cashews in curries.
