Pumpkin Seeds 1 article

Pumpkin seeds include both whole seeds with pale shells and the flat green hulled kernels commonly called pepitas. They are eaten roasted or salted, mixed into trail mix and granola, scattered over salads, or processed into seed butter and oil. The terminology matters because a whole in-shell pumpkin seed and a pepita are different retail forms of related squash seeds. Their broad flat kernel shape and green color after hulling help distinguish them from sunflower and sesame seeds.
