{"product_id":"roasted-salted-pumpkin-seeds-pepitas","title":"Roasted Pumpkin Seeds (Pepitas) — Salted","description":"\u003cp\u003eRoasted Pumpkin Seeds (Pepitas) are hulled pumpkin seed kernels with the outer white fibrous shell already removed, leaving the green inner kernel ready to eat. The hull-on version you crack open one at a time is the Halloween snack. This is the cooking and snacking version: roasted, lightly salted, soft-crunchy, and useful across a wider range of applications than any other seed format. Whether you are topping a salad, adding crunch to a soup, building a trail mix, or snacking between meals, pepitas deliver a satisfying result without the shell-cracking work.

The salt level complements rather than competes with salty cheeses. Tossed with paprika or chili powder, pepitas also work as a party snack that holds its crunch better than most nut mixes at room temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing the Right Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 0.25 lb and 0.5 lb bags are a practical starting point for first-time buyers or for a single recipe application. The 1 lb size suits regular snacking or consistent salad-topping use. The 2 lb size works well for households that use pepitas across multiple applications each week. The 3 lb and 5 lb bulk sizes offer the best value per ounce and are appropriate for high-volume snacking, meal prep, or anyone going through pepitas faster than smaller bags can keep up with. For bulk purchases, plan to portion some into a separate sealed container on arrival to maintain freshness through extended use. For another bulk raw nut option, see \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nutcravings.com\/products\/nut-cravings-raw-brazil-nuts-in-shell-whole-48oz-3-lb-bulk-nuts-packed-fresh-in-resealable-bag-healthy-protein-food-snack-all-natural-keto-vegan-kosher\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRaw Brazil Nuts — In Shell\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeal the bag after each use and store in a cool, dry place. Pantry shelf life is 6 to 9 months. Refrigeration extends shelf life to up to 12 months. Freezing extends shelf life to 2 years without changing texture or flavor, making it the recommended approach for the 3 lb and 5 lb bulk sizes. Roasted pepitas are more stable than raw because the roasting process stabilizes the surface oils. The main freshness risk in an open bag is moisture: once pepitas pick up humidity from a long-open bag in a warm kitchen, they soften and lose the crunch that makes them snackable. Keep the bag sealed between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoasted Pumpkin Seeds (Pepitas) Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bag of Roasted Pumpkin Seeds (Pepitas) is backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
