High Quality Grades

High-grade pumpkin seeds are flat, oval-shaped, and uniform in size with a healthy green hue. They should be free from cracks, moisture, and bitterness. Our seeds are carefully sorted and lightly roasted for better shelf life, flavor, and easy incorporation into recipes.

Origins of HQ Grades

Pumpkin seeds are sourced from regions with cool climates and rich soil. Globally, Austria and China are known for producing high-yield, nutrient-rich pumpkin varieties. In India, the cooler regions of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh are known for their quality pumpkins and their dense, nutrient-rich seeds.

Key Flavours

• Nutty: Pumpkin seeds have a distinct nutty flavor with a slightly buttery edge, making them a natural fit for trail mixes, desserts, or a simple roasted snack.
• Earthy: An earthy undertone balances their richness, making them ideal for savory dishes like salads, rice bowls, or vegetable stir-fries.
• Crunchy: Our light roast enhances the natural crunch of pumpkin seeds, delivering a satisfying texture whether eaten alone or added to recipes.

Suggested Recipes

• Seed & Nut Granola: Combine with oats, honey, nuts, and bake for a crunchy, energy-packed breakfast.
• Pumpkin Seed Pesto: Use as a unique substitute for pine nuts in pesto for extra protein and depth.
• Seed-Crusted Paneer Tikka: Coat paneer cubes with ground pumpkin seeds for a nutrient-boosted crust.

Health Benefits

Pumpkin seeds are one of the most concentrated sources of magnesium and zinc, both essential for immunity, bone health, and energy metabolism. They are also rich in plant-based protein and antioxidants, helping to combat fatigue, inflammation, and stress.
