Abstract

Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seeds and Pumpkin (Cucurbita Pepo L.) are traditional crops with high 
nutritional value. Herbs have been an important resource in global healthcare, offering a variety of 
therapeutic characteristics. Chia and Pumpkin seeds, often overlooked, are gaining popularity for their 
numerous health benefits and versatile applications. The novel viewpoints and possible health 
advantages of chia seed and pumpkin seed extracts are examined in this review. These seeds, which 
have historically been employed in food preparation, have drawn interest because of their high 
nutrient content and bioactive ingredients. Chia is valued more for its oil content because it contains 
a higher concentration of omega-3-alpha linolenic acid along with a variety of other nutrients, such 
as proteins, dietary fibers, antioxidants.
