Tag: Organic pumpkin seeds

According to the European Union’s Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF), some conventional pumpkin seed imports have been found to contain pesticide residues exceeding regulatory limits. This raises a critical question for consumers: do pumpkin seeds need to be organic, or is conventional just as safe and nutritious?

According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), certain produce, often referred to as the 'Dirty Dozen,' is better to buy organic due to high pesticide residues. This raises a key question for many health-conscious consumers: is it worth buying organic pumpkin seeds, or are the conventional varieties just as safe and nutritious?
