Raw Pumpkin Seeds (Pepitas) Shelled & Organic

Straight from the pack

- Eat a small handful as a snack, on their own

- Dry-roast in a pan for a few minutes for a crunchier, nuttier bite (they brown fast, so watch them)

Sprinkle and stir in

- Over salads, poha, upma and soups for crunch

- Into granola, muesli, oatmeal and smoothie bowls

- Stirred into yoghurt, raita and chaat

- Blended into smoothies

In Indian and home cooking

- In chikki and energy bars, with jaggery

- As a garnish on sweets, halwa and ladoo

- Added to trail mixes and seed mixes for healthy snacking

Storage (they are oil-rich, so this matters)

- Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place

- Because they are high in natural oils, refrigerating them keeps them fresh and stops them turning rancid; use within a few months at room temperature, longer if refrigerated

- Ready to eat. Raw and shelled (pepitas), so there is no hull to remove, just open and enjoy.

- Rich in magnesium and zinc. One of the best plant sources of both, plus iron and a good dose of plant protein.

- A genuinely satisfying snack. Protein, fibre and healthy fats keep you full, so a small handful goes a long way.

- Chemical-free and lab-tested. Grown and handled without synthetic chemicals, and tested for purity.

- Versatile. Snack them raw or roasted, or add to salads, granola, chikki, raita and smoothie bowls.

Organic Mandya pumpkin seeds are grown and handled without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, and lab-tested for purity, with reports on our transparency page. They are supplied raw and shelled, as green pepitas, ready to eat.

Good raw pumpkin seeds are evenly green, flat and firm, with a fresh, mild, nutty smell. A stale or bitter smell means the natural oils have turned, so freshness and proper storage matter with any oil-rich seed.
