Everyday blends of nuts, seeds, and fruits simple, satisfying, and ready to enjoy anywhere.

Pepitas are pumpkin seeds with the outer hull removed. The green kernel inside, without the white shell, is what you actually want for cooking, baking, or eating by the handful. Whole pumpkin seeds with the shell on are the Halloween version, salted and time-consuming to eat because you crack each one. Pepitas are ready-to-eat, soft-crunchy, and work in recipes where shelled seeds wouldn't.
Ours are roasted and lightly salted pepitas, the savory ready-to-snack version. Hull already removed, dry-roasted in-house, salted enough to bring out flavor without overpowering. Packed fresh in resealable bags at our Monroe, NY facility. Available in 1 lb through 5 lb sizes for snackers, families, and anyone who goes through pepitas faster than small grocery bags can sustain.

Roasted vs Raw, Salted vs Unsalted
We offer pepitas in multiple processing styles. The differences matter for how you'll use them.
Roasted and salted (this product): Best for straight snacking, salad toppings, trail mix, and any application where the seasoning is the finishing touch. The roast develops a nuttier flavor than raw pepitas, and the salt makes them addictive in a way unsalted pepitas aren't. If you want a snack you can grab by the handful and not worry about additional seasoning, this is the right product.
Roasted and unsalted: Better for recipes where you control the salt budget separately. Granola, pesto, pumpkin seed butter, baked goods, and most cooking applications work better with unsalted because pre-salted pepitas can throw off the salt balance of the finished dish.
Raw: For recipes that require raw seeds (sprouting, certain raw food preparations) or for buyers who want to roast and season at home. We don't currently offer raw pepitas in this catalog, but if you specifically need raw seeds, search our other dried seed products.
For most snacking and salad uses, this roasted-salted version is the practical choice.

The magnesium and zinc numbers are why pepitas keep showing up in "snack your way to better sleep" and "immune support" food recommendations. This is one of the densest food sources of both minerals.
The salt content is light but worth noting if you're tracking sodium. Unsalted pepitas are available separately if you want to control the salt level yourself.
How People Use Them
Salad topping is the heaviest single use. A scattered tablespoon over kale, mixed greens, spinach, or grain bowls adds protein, crunch, and a savory note. Especially good with goat cheese, roasted vegetables, or fall-themed salads with squash.
Straight snacking is underrated. The roast plus light salt makes these the kind of seed you can eat by the handful between meals without adding much to your daily carb or sugar load. Solid protein delivery for a between-meal snack.
Trail mix. Combine with raw almonds, dried cranberries, dark chocolate chips, and coconut flakes. Pepitas add textural variety and a savory note that pure-nut trail mixes lack.
Soup garnish. Sprinkle on butternut squash soup, pumpkin soup, black bean soup, or any creamy fall-themed soup. The crunch contrast against smooth soup texture is the kind of detail that elevates a weeknight meal.
Mexican and Central American cooking. Pepitas show up in mole sauces, pipián, and traditional dishes across Mexico. If you're cooking those cuisines, salted pepitas can be added directly without additional seasoning steps.
Yogurt bowl topping. Greek yogurt with pepitas, honey, and berries is a high-protein breakfast that beats most cereal options. The salt cuts the sweetness in a way that pure-nut toppings don't replicate.
Cheese boards. Scattered alongside aged cheddar, manchego, or feta as a savory accent. The light salt complements salty cheeses without competing.
Ranch dip and party snacks. Toss pepitas with paprika or chili powder for an upgraded snack mix that holds up at parties without going stale.
How Freshness Holds Up
Seal the bag after each use and store in a cool, dry place. 6 to 9 months pantry life is typical. For the 3 lb or 5 lb bulk sizes, move half to the freezer on arrival. Freezing extends shelf life to 2 years without changing texture or flavor.
Roasted pepitas hold up better than raw because the roast stabilizes the surface oils. But once they pick up moisture from a long-open bag in a humid kitchen, they go soft and lose the crunch that makes them snackable. Keep them sealed.
