Pumpkin Seeds (Organic)

Cultivated for thousands of years across the Americas before becoming a staple in European pantries, organic pumpkin seeds (Cucurbita pepo) have long been prized for their vibrant color and nutrient density. To the eye, they showcase a flat, teardrop shape with a dark emerald-green color and a smooth, waxy skin. Upon opening, they emit a clean, subtle scent of green fields and crushed seeds.

On the palate, they yield an earthy, toasted-nut flavor with a delightfully snappy texture that softens slightly as you chew. To bring out their full depth, toss them briefly in a dry pan until they inflate and crackle, or bake them on a tray with olive oil at 160°C until fragrant.

Organic pumpkin seeds suit both sweet and savory creations effortlessly. They add a crisp contrast when scattered over roasted squash soups, grain bowls, and sharp feta salads, while bringing a lovely nuttiness when folded into granola mixes, banana bread, or dark chocolate bark.
