A pumpkin seed is the edible seed of a pumpkin. The seeds are typically flat and asymmetrically oval, have a white outer husk, and are light green in color after the husk is removed. When removed from the flesh of a pumpkin, they can be rinsed and roasted, either plain or with other flavours such as oils and spices, to create a delicious, crunchy snack.
Pumpkin seeds have a malleable, chewy texture and a subtly sweet, nutty flavor.
