Unlock the secrets of the ultimate sex mineral

by Don't Change Much | Nov 4, 2014 | Nutrition

Guys want zinc.

The mineral influences a man’s fertility, potency, sex drive and long-term sexual health. So the question remains, where do you find this sexy mineral? Pumpkin seeds happen to contain a ridiculous amount of zinc – and that right there is one good reason for you to go out and get yourself a pumpkin.

Besides that – they are easy to make and taste dangerously good when seasoned.

How to

Clean the seeds
Boil for 10 minutes in water with a dash of salt.
Drain the seeds in a colander and dry lightly with a paper towel or tea towel
Spread seeds onto a baking sheet and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil (about 1/2-1tsp) and season if that’s your thing
Roast seeds at 325F for 10 minutes
EAT!
