Pumpkin seeds

One of our personal favorites when it comes to a quick snack, pumpkin seeds are quite unique both in taste as well as texture. We source our seeds mainly in China with fixed partners who can guarantee a stable supply and - more importantly - quality, but also work with some small processors based in Europe.

Pumpkin seed, also known in North America as a pepita (from the Mexican Spanish: pepita de calabaza, "little seed of squash"), is the edible seed of a pumpkin or certain other cultivars of squash. The seeds are typically flat and asymmetrically oval, have a white outer husk, and are light green in color after the husk is removed. Some cultivars are huskless, and are grown only for their edible seed. The seeds are nutrient- and calorie-rich, with especially high content of fat (particularly linoleic acid and oleic acid), protein, dietary fiber, and numerous micronutrients.
