Is pumpkin seed same as Flax seed?
No, pumpkin seeds and flax seeds are different types of seeds that have some similarities but also some significant differences. Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, are the seeds of a pumpkin or other types of squash. They are a good source of nutrients such as protein, fiber, iron, zinc, and antioxidants. Pumpkin seeds are often used as a snack or added to recipes for added flavor and crunch. Flax seeds, also known as linseeds, are small, nutty-tasting seeds that come from the flax plant. Like pumpkin seeds, flax seeds are a good source of nutrients such as fiber, protein, and antioxidants. They are also a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), which is a type of polyunsaturated fat that is thought to have several health benefits. Flax seeds can be eaten whole or ground and are often added to recipes for added nutrition. While pumpkin seeds and flax seeds both offer some health benefits, they are not the same and do not have the same nutritional profile. It is generally recommended to include a variety of different types of seeds in your diet to take advantage of the different nutrients that they offer.
