Yes, the shells are edible, but they are tough and fibrous, so chew them thoroughly. If they feel difficult to digest or uncomfortable to chew, crack them open and eat the kernels instead.
Crack the pointed end between your teeth, separate the shell, and eat the kernel inside. You can also eat the shell if you chew it well, or spit it out if you prefer a softer snack.
No. Pepitas are pumpkin kernels sold without their outer shells, while roasted unsalted pumpkin seeds in shell still have that shell attached. Recipes calling for pepitas usually mean the shelled kernels, which are easier to mix into food.
Keep roasted unsalted pumpkin seeds in shell in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat. Limiting exposure to air and moisture helps preserve their crunch and keeps the oils from turning rancid as quickly.
A stale, bitter, or paint-like smell can mean the oils have gone rancid. Discard roasted unsalted pumpkin seeds in shell if they smell off, taste unpleasant, have become damp, or show any mold.
Yes, but they are already roasted, so heating them again for too long can dry out the kernels or make them taste bitter. Warm them briefly over low heat, stirring often, if you only want to restore some crispness.
Dogs can have a small amount of plain pumpkin kernels, but it is safer to remove the shells because they are hard to digest. Do not give a dog whole roasted unsalted pumpkin seeds in shell or a large portion.
No, you do not need to wash roasted unsalted pumpkin seeds in shell before eating them. Washing can add moisture and soften the roasted shells; if they need rinsing for a recipe, dry them thoroughly before using.
Not by themselves, but eating large amounts can add substantially to your overall food intake because seeds are energy-dense. Put a portion in a bowl instead of snacking straight from a large bag to avoid eating more than intended.
Yes, you can eat them before bed if they sit comfortably with you. Their shells are fibrous and take more chewing, so a large handful close to bedtime may feel heavy or cause digestive discomfort for some people.

Roasted unsalted pumpkin seeds in shell are pumpkin seeds toasted with their outer husks intact. They have a crisp, nutty shell and a firmer, pleasantly rich kernel; without added salt, their mild earthy flavour comes through. Eat them by cracking the shell with your teeth and taking out the seed inside, rather than eating the husk.
They’re a familiar snack in many places, enjoyed by the handful at home, during games, or alongside a drink. Their protein, fibre and fats make them more sustaining than many crisp snacks. Since they’re unsalted, they’re also a good option when you want to avoid added salt; serve a small portion in a bowl and keep a dish nearby for the shells.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
