PUMPKIN SEEDS, PEPITAS - Kosher/Naturally Gluten Free

PEP-5

Description:

Temporarily Unavailable... Pepitas are the raw, hulled seeds of pumpkins. Pepitas have been eaten in Mexico dating back to ancient Aztec times. Pepitas pack therapeutic and nutritional ingredients and are a balanced source of good proteins. Pepitas are also lower in fat than most other nuts. Used often in Mexican cooking, Pepitas are usually toasted and eaten as a snack. They are also the key ingredient in "pipian" which is a type of mole. With their white shell removed or hulled, Pepitas are medium-dark green, about 1/2" long with a delicate nutty flavor.

Ingredient Statement:

Hulled Pumpkin Seeds. 

Raw or toasted Pepitas make a wonderful snack. Toast them and add to trail mix or sprinkle Pepitas in salads and stir-fry dishes. Pepitas are a real treat in muffins, cakes, bread, and even meatloaf!

Recommended Preparation Instructions:

Ready to use if needed raw. To toast Pepitas, place the seeds in a large frying pan, over medium flame for 2 minutes, stirring constantly until nuts turn a golden brown.
