During a recent trip to the grocery store I was looking for pumpkin seeds but only saw what looked like pumpkin seeds without the shell. The package label said Pepitas; I thought to myself, hmm; they look like pumpkin seeds (without the shell)but the package doesn’t say pumpkin seeds. So I asked a store employee about them and she confirmed that Pepitas are acually pumpkin seeds. Now I know them as a different name and have always loved them just not with the salted shell. Thanks for the recipes too!

Hi Talli,
I love to eat pumpkin seeds as a snack and also have them in my muesli/granola in the mornings.

Amazing how good they are for you.

Thanks for this very informative post.

My 2 yr old loves to eat roasted pumpkin seeds as a snack. Looks like I need to save seeds and roast some myself this year when we do jack o’lanterns.

Great post, Talli! Ok, call me a dork, but I have no clue that pepitas were the same as pumpkin seeds. I said, “oh, taste just like pumpkin seeds but didn’t connect the two. Adding them to oatmeal-raisin cookies sounds so good!
