The Secret of Pumpkin Seeds

Every year ...

"No, save the seeds. We can roast them!"

Every year ...

Clean, soak, boil, flavor, roast, cool ... Yuck, the seeds are terrible.

Finally the secret became clear - these are not the right seeds. You want the seeds of a gourd bred for seeds, not flesh. Just like carving pumpkins are so not the best to cook with.

But, if you're patient, you can crack the seed to reveal the inner part, which is fantastic!

So go ahead, save the seeds, go through all the work, and you'll find the secret treasure. Toast 'em up, cool to crisp. Yum!
