Pumpkin seeds are also known as ‘Kaddu Ka Beeja’ in Hindi, and are nutritional powerhouses that offer myriad benefits for the skin, hair, and overall physiological well-being. Pumpkin seeds contain generous amounts of unsaturated fatty acids like omega-3. These fatty acids have natural emolliating properties that keep the skin moisturized. Pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc, a mineral that possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce the redness and scarring caused by acne. Pumpkin seeds also help expedite the process of wound healing owing to their rich nutrient content, especially vitamin A and zinc. The antioxidants, vitamins E and A, contained in pumpkin seeds help fight free radical formation and thus, reduce the incidence of premature aging. Pumpkin seeds contain many nutrients such as L-lysine, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids that improve hair growth and quality. Pumpkin seeds contain high doses of iron and L-lysine – two nutrients that can help control excessive hair shedding. Pumpkin seeds contain rich doses of zinc, an active ingredient present in many anti-dandruff shampoos.
