Harvesting

Organic pumpkin seeds are harvested from the pumpkin plant, which is a member of the gourd family. The seeds are grown in a natural and organic environment, free from synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. They are usually harvested in the late summer and early autumn months when the pumpkins are ripe and ready for consumption. The seeds are then extracted from the pumpkin fruit and undergo a process of cleaning and drying to remove any excess pulp or debris. This ensures that the seeds maintain their natural composition and nutritional value. Organic pumpkin seeds are known for their rich, nutty flavour and are often consumed in their raw form or roasted to enhance their taste and texture.

Pumpkin seeds are a rich source of essential nutrients such as protein, healthy fats, fibre, and various vitamins and minerals including magnesium, zinc, and iron. They are also known for their natural greenish colour, which is indicative of their high chlorophyll content, a powerful antioxidant. As a natural raw product, organic pumpkin seeds offer a range of health benefits and are a popular choice as a nutritious and wholesome snack or ingredient for cooking and baking.

The organic nature of Organic Pumpkin Seeds means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Pumpkin Seeds in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
