La víspera de la fiesta de Todos los Santos (All Hallow´s Eve) se celebra en todo el mundo (especialmente en los países anglosajones) popularmente conocida como Halloween. Los antiguos celtas creían que el día 31 de octubre, la frontera entre los vivos y los muertos desaparecía, y los muertos podían resultar peligrosos para los vivos. Esto explica los disfraces de bruja, fantasma o calavera. Hace más de 2000 años los pueblos celtas también celebraban el final de la estación y de la recogida de las cosechas. Ahora en todo el mundo mucha gente se disfraza con trajes de miedo, los niños van de casa en casa pidiendo golosinas con el famoso "Trick or Treat"(truco o trato), y se colocan linternas de calabaza en casi todas las casas.

Roasted pumpkin seeds have a nutty flavor and are packed with protein and fiber. Pumpkin seeds are delicious toasted and salted, but they're even better flavored with sweet and savory spices. How to Roast Pumpkin Seeds Rinse pumpkin seeds under cold water and pick out the pulp and strings. (This is easiest just after you've removed the seeds from the pumpkin, before the pulp has dried.) Place the pumpkin seeds in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet, stirring to coat. If you prefer, omit the oil and coat with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt and bake at 325 degrees F until toasted, about 25 minutes, checking and stirring after 10 minutes. Let cool and store in an air-tight container.
