Description

Watermelon seeds are used for various wellness benefits, from hair to skin to heart, and are full of nutrients like protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Magnesium in watermelon seeds may help support heart health and healthy blood pressure levels.

Benefits

Heart Health & Blood Pressure Support: The magnesium in watermelon seeds may help support heart health and healthy metabolic function. Eating these seeds may also be beneficial for general cardiac comfort and blood pressure support. Arginine and omega-6 fatty acids may help support healthy blood pressure levels. Some research suggests the beneficial effects of watermelon seeds on the heart could be due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vasodilatory (blood vessel-widening) properties. The seeds are also a source of citrulline, which some studies suggest may help support healthy blood pressure. Seed extract has also been studied for its effect on cholesterol levels.

Hair Health: The seeds contain a good amount of protein, which may help support hair health. They contain iron, which may help support hair strength and healthy growth, and may help reduce thinning, dryness, and dullness. The seeds contain magnesium, which may help support strong, healthy hair. Roasted seeds contain copper, which supports melanin production — the pigment responsible for hair color. Essential amino acids may help support hair against breakage. The oil may help support scalp comfort for an itchy scalp, as it absorbs easily.

Glowing Skin: These seeds are rich in fatty acids like oleic acid and linoleic acid, which may help support healthy skin. Unsaturated fatty acids may help keep skin moisturized. The seed oil may help support skin against dryness, dullness, and acne. Fatty acid content may help support smoother-looking skin. Applying the oil to the face may help support the appearance of acne, blemishes, and wrinkles. Antioxidants may help support smooth skin and support the skin's natural aging process.

Snacking: Roasted and dried watermelon seeds can be used as snacks, in soups, and in sauces. One tip: roasted seeds should be chewed properly to better absorb their nutrients, or they may pass through the digestive tract largely intact. Watermelon seed sprouts can also be prepared by soaking the seeds in water for a few days, then roasting them for a snack-like flavor. The seed oil is also known as Kalahari oil or Ootanga oil, and is popular in West Africa, where it's commonly used in cooking.

Vitality Support: The seeds are rich in amino acids like arginine, lysine, and glutamic acid, which may help support general vitality and wellbeing.

Blood Sugar Support: These seeds may help support healthy blood sugar levels as part of a balanced diet. Watermelon seed tea is a traditional way to enjoy this. Magnesium may help support healthy carbohydrate metabolism, which relates to blood sugar levels.

Nervous System Support: Watermelon seeds are a source of B-complex vitamins, including niacin, folate, thiamine, pantothenic acid, and vitamin B6. Of these, niacin plays a role in supporting the nervous system and digestive health.

Usage

Raw seeds can be used in salads, fried rice, soups, and sandwiches, and in sweet dishes, especially for festive occasions. Watermelon seed tea is also popular, and the seeds can be found as an ingredient in breads and cookies.
