Pepitas are pumpkin seeds with the outer hull removed. The green kernel inside, without the white shell, is what you want in granola, on salads, in pesto, or just by the handful. The confusion happens because "pumpkin seeds" gets used for both products. True pumpkin seeds with the shell on are the Halloween kind, often salted, time-consuming to eat because you're cracking open each one. Pepitas are ready-to-eat, soft-crunchy, and work in recipes where shelled seeds wouldn't.
Ours are pepitas specifically. Roasted, unsalted, shell already removed, packed fresh in resealable bags at our Monroe, NY facility. No salt, no oil, nothing added beyond the roast itself. kosher certified. Sourced primarily from Mexico and China, which together handle the majority of commercial pepita production.

Why Unsalted Matters
If you're using pepitas in recipes, unsalted is almost always the right choice. Granola, pesto, pumpkin seed butter, trail mix, salad toppings, anything you're layering with other ingredients already has its own salt budget. Pre-salted pepitas throw off that balance and leave you with recipes that taste over-salted by the end.
For straight snacking, unsalted is the cleaner flavor. Roasted pepitas have a naturally nutty, slightly sweet taste that's easy to miss under added salt. If you want them salty, sprinkling sea salt over a handful takes two seconds and you control exactly how much goes on.
The low-sodium crowd benefits obviously. Unsalted pepitas deliver protein, fiber, magnesium, and zinc without adding to daily sodium intake, which matters for anyone managing blood pressure or cardiovascular conditions.

The magnesium and zinc numbers are the real story. Pepitas are one of the densest food sources of both minerals, which is why they show up in a lot of "snack your way to better sleep" and "immune support" food recommendations.
How People Use Them
Salad topping. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons over any green salad for crunch and protein. Pairs especially well with roasted squash, goat cheese, and balsamic-based dressings.
Homemade granola. Stir into the oat mix before baking, then toast together. Pepitas stay soft-crunchy rather than getting rock-hard like nuts sometimes do during granola baking.
Pesto with pumpkin seeds instead of pine nuts. Cheaper than pine nuts, roughly similar texture when blended, and a slightly nuttier flavor. Classic vegan pesto alternative.
Pumpkin seed butter. Blend 2 cups of pepitas in a food processor for 10 to 15 minutes with a pinch of salt. Creamy, spreadable, and similar to peanut butter but with a distinct earthy flavor. Good for school lunches if there's a peanut allergy concern.
Mexican and Central American cooking. Pepitas are traditional in mole sauces, pipián, and a lot of regional dishes across Mexico. If you're cooking those cuisines, pepitas are the authentic ingredient, not a substitute.
Fall and harvest baking. Sprinkled on top of pumpkin bread, butternut squash soup, or autumn-themed muffins. The seasonal visual fit is built in.
Trail mix. Combine with raw almonds, dark chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and coconut flakes. Pepitas add a texture variety that pure nut-based trail mix doesn't have.
Straight snacking. A small handful between meals delivers protein and magnesium without the sugar crash of most snack options.
How Freshness Holds Up
Seal the bag after each use and store in a cool, dry place. 6 to 9 months pantry life. 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.
Pepitas carry a lot of healthy fats that can oxidize if the bag stays open too long in a warm kitchen. If your kitchen runs warm in summer, refrigeration is worth the fridge space.
