For an aging man, pepita (pumpkin) seeds are a boon. Source of naturally occurring estrogen-like compounds, it inhibits the enlargement of the prostate gland. It is wonderful as topping and source of protein on oatmeal. I continue my love affair with the steel-cut variety. If nothing else it makes for Slow Food - the oats have to cook for 30 minutes! But it's worth the time. The oat pieces are chewy, nutty and an indulgence on the tongue!
