Organic Activated Pepitas
Organic Activated Pepitas
These are not your typical pumpkin seeds! Our organic activated pepitas are soaked end dehydrated at a low temperature to maximise digestibility and nutrient availability. Once you taste these, there's no going back to the smaller green ones!
'Activated' simply refers to the process of properly preparing nuts and seeds through soaking (in filtered water) and dehydrating (not roasting!) at low temperature to reduce phytates and enzyme inhibitors naturally found in all nuts and seeds. Traditional societies, the world over, soaked their nuts/seeds in rainwater and sun dried them to maximise nutrition. This process increases the bioavailability of nutrients and improves digestibility. If you’d like to learn more about Why activated? See here.
