FACT ABOUT: Pepitas
So we all know that pepitas come from pumpkin seeds, and seem to be an unlikely addition to many a health-food-shop-visitor’s meal BUT, did you know that Pepitas are not really a *new-age* food and in fact according to Gourmetsleuth
“have been eaten in Mexico dating back to ancient Aztec times.”
That’s a lot of centuries! I dare say this is due to the “waste not, want not” policy of our fair forefathers. Perhaps I shall try to roast my own pepitas one day!
