* Pumpkin seeds are high in zinc, which is good for the prostate and building the immune system. * They also contain fatty acids that kill parasites. * Raw pumpkin seeds contain essential fatty acids and beneficial proteins. * For maximum nutritional benefits, seeds should be eaten raw. * Roasted seeds contain damaged fat that can lead to plaque in the arteries.-http://www.mercola.com/nutritionplan/foo…

well i dont see how anything can be gained by roasting them without adding something else.it is however entirely possible that cooking could reduce the vitamin content.As a general rule, raw is healthier and the fresher the better!
