Pepitas vs. in-shell pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds and pepitas come from the same plant but are different parts. In-shell pumpkin seeds keep the white outer hull and have a crunchier bite. Pepitas are the inner green kernel with the shell removed, softer and ready to eat or cook with. Gerbs carries both, in raw, dry-roasted, and seasoned options.
Ways to use pumpkin seeds and pepitas
Toss pepitas onto salads, soups, and grain bowls, fold them into granola and breads, or eat them straight from the bag. In-shell pumpkin seeds are the classic roasted snack. Dry roasted with no oils, both keep a clean, savory taste in any recipe.
How to store pumpkin seeds
Keep pumpkin seeds and pepitas in a sealed container or their resealable bag in a cool, dry place. They stay fresh for months in the pantry and longer in the refrigerator or freezer. Seasoned and salted varieties keep best sealed and away from heat and humidity.

What is the difference between pepitas and pumpkin seeds?
Pumpkin seeds and pepitas come from the same plant but refer to different parts. Pumpkin seeds include the white outer hull (shell), while pepitas are the inner green kernel with the shell removed.
