Pepitas de calabazas is Mexican for ‘squash seeds,’ which are a popular snack south of the border. Stony Brook’s pepitas are made a little further north, in the Finger Lakes region of New York, with locally grown heirloom pumpkins. Seeds harvested from the pumpkins are brined and batch roasted for a toasty flavor and crispy crunch. A nearly guilt-free snack, pumpkin seeds provide zinc, copper, lutein, beta carotene and Vitamin E.
