Pumpkin Seed Crackers

by Susan on February 19, 2009

Are pumpkin seeds another super food? Would you believe that they are amazingly nutritious? Pumpkin seeds are full of magnesium, which keeps bones strong, promotes healthy heart function and supports your nervous systems function, B vitamins, and are packed with protein! They are also a good source of iron, zinc and fiber! These crackers are great with cashew cheese or just topped with veggies. This is a great addition to your raw food recipe collection!

Hello,

I have been wondering about this. Are the temperatures and air of a dehydrator damaging to ground flax seed. Normally, it is stored in the refrigerator to protect the fragile fatty acids from oxidation. It seems that exposing the insides of seeds to these elements may diminish nutrition and even cause it to be dangerous.

Thanks!

I have done some research into this. The actual tests that have done show that heating is not dangerous, even at temps that are much higher than we use when dehydrating. . You can read more here: http://www.flaxcouncil.ca/english/pdf/stor.pdf

I’m just exploring the raw food diet but often get discouraged that so many of the recipies use flax seeds and my body just doesn’t like them. Is there something I can substitute?

I made this over the weekend. LOVE IT! I made up a avocado spread and added tomato slices to these crackers and it was a meal in itself. Thanks!

I have celiac disease and can’t use the wheat berries, also rye and barley. What other grain could I sprout in place of the wheat berries. Thanks!
