Now, you might be wondering, what about the real Halloween spirit?

As you pull on those costumes and prepare your trick-or-treating game plans, here’s a fun fact to nibble on: Halloween comes from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, where it was believed that the boundary between the living and the dead was blurred, allowing people to dress like spirits! And while you’re at it, don’t forget to gather your pumpkin seeds because those little treasures pack a nutritional punch — full of magnesium and zinc! Get ready to enjoy a Halloween that’s all about 'no tricks, just treats!'
