Pumpkin Seeds 200 g

Pumpkin seeds come from special varieties, are dried after being hollowed out and may or may not be peeled. Seeds from popular varieties grown for their flesh (e.g. Hokkaido) are harder to process. The seeds go through a process of washing, drying, cleaning and possibly polishing before they reach our table. As such, the pumpkin came to us from the American continent.

Use

Pumpkin seeds are used to make oil, which is very aromatic and has a strong nutty taste. In addition, the seeds are dried and then sold shelled or unshelled. The seeds can be eaten raw, just roasted in a pan or dry baking tray (beware of burning them, they will turn bitter). They can be salted or seasoned with the spices of your choice. Then they are an ideal substitute for potato chips and similar snacks. They can be added to homemade bread (pumpkin bread) or as a sprinkle on salads or soups. If you need to peel the unhulled seeds, just soak them in lukewarm water for a while. Soaking the seeds improves their digestibility.
