At the NCA Sweets & Snacks Show, I had the opportunity to meet Kathie from SuperSeedz. Kathie started making roasted pumpkin seeds with curry seasoning to pep up her salads. They began disappearing and hers kids and their friends asked for more. Kathie started experimenting with flavors and met a business man who became the president of the company and then her husband. Kathie and Joe travel all over sharing SuperSeedz! Pumpkin seeds have a great nutrition profile and are allergen friendly. They now have nine varieties and more on the way. I can see why these disappeared quickly. Read on and enter to win!
Did you know that pumpkin seeds are crazy nutritious? Each serving has up to 9 grams of protein and 15% of the recommended daily allowance of zinc and iron. They are one of the few sources of plant-faced protein that contain all nine essential amino acids. SuperSeedz are allergen friendly. They’re gluten free, peanut free, tree nut free, egg free, dairy free, fish free, shellfish free and soy free.
SuperSeedz come in 9 flavors. The flavors are are Maple Sugar & Sea Salt, Really Naked, Sea Salt, Cinnamon & Sugar, Coco Joe, Tomato Italiano, Curious Curry, Somewhat Spicy and Super Spicy. The savory seeds are great on salads. Like spicy? You can choose somewhat spicy or super spicy. The sweet flavors are great on yogurt, or in granola or pancakes, or to add nutritional value to your ice cream (You’re welcome!) The savory and spicy flavors add a great, nutritious crunch to your soup instead of croutons. Check out some recipe ideas here.
My favorite flavor is Maple Sugar & Sea Salt. I love the sweet and salty combo. I also love the Curious Curry, Sea Salt and Somewhat Spicy for my salads and soups. Cinnamon Sugar and Coco Joe are great for snacks and in yogurt or on cereal. The seeds stay very fresh and all of the flavors have a nice coating of flavor without being over powering.
You don’t have to take my word for it! SuperSeedz offered to send 5 oz. bags of all of the flavors to one lucky winner. Winner must be a US resident, 18 years of age or over and the offer is void where prohibited. The contest runs through July 14. A winner will be selected and notified on July 15.
In the mean time, you can get SuperSeeds online and at many stores (locator). You can also sign up for their newsletter for deals and news and follow on Twitter and Facebook.
