PUMPKIN SEEDS
Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkin Seeds-Roasted & Unsalted We roast many thousands of pounds of pumpkin seeds which we import from China. they are used in a number of our trail mixes. The pumpkin seed is supposed to be healthy for you. Some claim it helps digestion. others claim it improves sexual functions. The pumpkin seed is shrouded in many medicinal folklores.
Pumpkin seeds are terrific snacks. Unlike sunflower seeds, they're usually eaten whole, though hulled pumpkin seeds, called pepitas, are commonly used in Mexican dishes. To roast fresh pumpkin seeds, wash them and blot them dry, then toss them with salt and melted butter or margarine and bake on a cookie sheet in a 325° oven for about 15 minutes. To dry fresh seeds, wash and blot them dry as before, but bake them in a warm (150°) oven for 1 to 2 hours.
