Pumpkin Seeds

The edible seeds found in a pumpkin, which are available with or without the hulls, in a raw, roasted, and salted form. When the hulls are removed, a dark green, delicate flavored seed remains that provides a meaty snack when roasted and salted. Also referred to as pepitas, this seed is a popular ingredient in Mexican cooking. Pumpkin seeds are available in Mexican markets, health-food stores and some supermarket locations.
