| 1331879 | 2013-03-11 09:36:00 | I find that after washing the seeds on the machine's gentle cycle, the spin cycle gets most of the water out, and ironing them does for the rest . I try to avoid ironing whenever possible . It is not my favourite sport . Looks like you do shell them (somehow) - Pepita ( . wikipedia . org/wiki/Pepita" target="_blank">en . wikipedia . org) - see images . This ( . co . nz/product . php?productid=420" target="_blank">nutsonline . co . nz) is what they normally look like . edit: Oh! How to shell pumpkin seeds in 15 easy steps! ( . wikihow . com/Shell-Pumpkin-Seeds" target="_blank">www . wikihow . com) Yes, I split a couple of seeds and found the green bits inside but you can eat the seeds whole after roasting them . My green bits seem a bit flat compared to my shop ones so maybe I needed to do the soaking thing first to puff them up . I am going to roast the seeds whole this time for something different to try and next time I get a pumpkin I will shell them as in that article . Would have been good to have read it a few days ago as the advice "Lay the seeds flat over a cookie sheet or parchment paper . Let dry if still wet from cleaning . Note, do not use paper towels, they will stick to the seeds . " is very pertinent . :rolleyes: |

| 1331880 | 2013-03-11 09:41:00 | Yes, they are pretty different. The American Halloween pumpkins are usually much larger, and have much more watery flesh. As such, they aren't great to eat. Don't think that would affect how to roast the seeds though. www.wikihow.com Has a pretty good set of instructions. That article was one of the first I came across then I found others with slightly different methods so I am picking out the bits that appeal to me for my method. :p |
