Pumpkin Seed
The edible seeds of a pumpkin - these seeds are white and hard with the kernel on the inside. Usually bought roasted and salted.
Category: Seed
In Season: all year
To Buy:
Avoid buying dry-roasted, salted pumpkin seeds. Not only have they lost most of their nutritional goodness in the roasting process, but many are so hard they are almost inedible.
To Store:
Store in an airtight container in a cool place or the refrigerator for up to 5 months.
Tips & Tricks:
Roast your own pumpkin seeds (see cooking tips) or buy pepitas.
Cooking Tips:
Wipe 1 cup seeds clean and toss in 1 tbsp olive oil. Spread them out on a baking sheet and bake at 180C for 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned. Cool and serve with a small amount of sea salt.
