Tag: White pumpkin seeds

The seeds you scoop from a carving pumpkin are white and shelled, but the green, shell-free seeds sold in stores often come from specific "hull-less" pumpkin varieties. Understanding this distinction is key to deciding which pumpkin seeds are best, white or green, for your next recipe or snack.

Green pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, come from specific hull-less pumpkin varieties, while the familiar white seeds are found inside carving pumpkins. Understanding which pumpkin seeds are best to eat, white or green, depends on your desired texture and culinary use.
