Turkish Pumpkin Seeds

Raw and roasted pumpkin seeds

Raw seeds are useful when you want to roast or season them yourself, while ready-roasted seeds offer a firmer crunch and stronger nutty aroma.

Salt level and shell format

Some snack pumpkin seeds are sold in the shell, while hulled kernels are more convenient for baking, salads and granola. Check whether the product is salted, low-salt or plain before comparing pack sizes.

How to use them

Eat roasted seeds as a snack or add kernels to breads, salads, yoghurt, breakfast bowls and baked foods. Store sealed to protect both crunch and natural oils.

For snacking, roasted seeds are easiest; for bread, granola or salads, kernels are more practical. If the seeds are sold in-shell, remember that the listed package weight includes shell, so edible yield is lower than with hulled kernels.
