With or Without the Shell?

With or Without the Shell?

Compared to green, shelled pumpkin seeds, pumpkin seed shells are safer to consume and have higher fiber content. However, because whole seeds contain a lot of fibre, which can cause symptoms like discomfort and diarrhea, persons with digestive disorders might want to avoid them.

Are unshelled pumpkin seeds healthy?
Pumpkin seeds are quite good for you with or without the shell. They're extremely rich in fiber (which can support good digestion and heart health), as well as other beneficial vitamins and nutrients (like zinc, magnesium, and iron). With that said, whole pumpkin seeds offer about double the fiber of shelled ones.
