Pumpkin Seeds (Pepitas)
Ref 7A2403
₹195.00
Hulled pumpkin seeds — pepitas — are flat, deep-green kernels with a firm bite and a savoury, almost buttery nuttiness. Removing the white hull is what makes them worth eating by the handful: the kernel inside is tender where the shell is tough and fibrous. They are among the best plant sources of zinc and magnesium, and unlike most seeds they hold their texture in cooking, which is why they work as well scattered over a hot soup as they do raw in a trail mix.

How to Use
- Eaten raw or toasted by the handful as an everyday snack

- Baked into breads, granola, crackers and energy bars

Directions of Use
- A typical serving is 20–30 g, roughly two tablespoons a day.
- To toast, dry-roast over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until they begin to pop and colour.
- Season after toasting, not before — salt draws out moisture and softens the crunch.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
- Refrigerate after opening in warm or humid weather to protect the natural oils.
- Use a clean, dry spoon each time.
