nutritional story

Watermelon seeds,  pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds are all similar in providing excellent nutrients and minerals. They all contain great amounts of plant protein (approx 5-7gms per 2 tbsp), magensium, Vitamin B6, iron, and zinc among a few other smaller quantities of other nutrients.

Soy beans - I buy mine from the freezer at the supermarket(its a reliable source and I tolerate some of what they have done to get them to market. If you come across a good source, next to fresh, let me now please.They contain protein (approx 15gms per 1/2cup) high in iron and magnesium, calcium.

Just to remind you about protein intake each day - our daily requirements of protein is between 45-50gms for women and 55-60gms for men.  This means a piece of chicken that weighs 100gms gives you approx 30gms of protein.
