Holistic Chef ’s Tip #3

Enlarged prostate effects approximately 50% of men over the age of 50. Medical Doctors will often prescribe 200 mg of glutamic acid for this condition. Two tablespoons of pumpkin seeds provide 1078mg of glutamic acid. This explains why raw pumpkin seeds are used to treat an enlarged prostrate in many parts of Europe. Pumpkin seeds can be added to salads and veggies to increase nutrient value. See recipe on Roasted Pepitas with Tamari Sauce.
