Pumpkin Seeds

My squirrel friend loves them.

These Nuts US raw and unsalted pumpkin seeds are fresh and tasty. They are a nutritious snack offering protein, fiber and healthy fat. However, they are high in calories, so you’ll want to eat them in moderation. They can be consumed as-is, salted and dried, or salted, dried and roasted. For salting, soak seeds in a salt water solution (ratio of 2 cups water to 1 tablespoon salt) for a few hours or overnight. Dry thoroughly; can use dehydrator if one is available. To roast, after drying, coat with oil and salt (or other seasonings), then roast in a 300 degree F oven for up to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Note that the nuts do not ship right away, so if you want them on a regular basis, a subscription may be the way to go. As the company name implies, these seeds are manufactured in the USA.

I love befriending 4 squirrels! Even though I buy Squirrel Complete for home, their choice is these Giant Pumpkin Seeds. I love feeding them and have 2 of them that will eat out of my hand. These are terrific seeds.

Plump and tasty

Great quality.

I initially thought this was a fail when I attempted to roast in a pan with olive oil and salt and pepper. The first batch soaked up the olive oil immediately (since the seeds are bone dry) and when they came out of the oven they were not browned or crispy and tasted burnt even though the exteriors didn’t look very charred at all.I soaked my second batch in water for 30 minutes, let them air dry on a towel for another hour, and then roasted using the exact same method as before and they came out crispy and delicious. The soaking method basically simulates how they come out of the pumpkin. :)I’ll be buying these again for sure!

Some are plump

Excellent quality
