White pumpkin seeds

Also called بزر قرع أبيض

Broad, flat white seeds with green kernels inside

About this product

White pumpkin seeds: broad, flat and chalk white, oval with a small pointed tip. The shell is thicker than a sunflower seed's, with a thin rim along the edge, and a flat green kernel sits inside. The seeds are fairly large, so a handful lasts longer than a handful of sunflower seeds.

Taste

It asks for patience: press the rim until the shell parts, and out comes a mild, slightly nutty kernel. Fans will tell you the effort is part of it.

How to enjoy it

A seed for long summer evenings on the balcony or in the garden, and a regular at Ramadan gatherings, because slow cracking stretches the conversation. It often shares the table with sunflower seeds: the impatient take one, the patient take the other.

How to store it

A closed tin in a dry cupboard keeps the shells firm and easy to split; to toast them a little more at home, a dry pan and constant stirring are all you need.
