Pumpkinseeds are not defined by AAFCO.  The Nature's Variety Learning Center defines pumpkinseeds as a natural source of beneficial fiber, protein, and other trace nutrients. Seeds, such as pumpkinseeds, are rich in vitamins, minerals, and linoleic acid, making them one of the densest sources of nutrition available.
