Gerbs Raw Pumpkin & Sunflower Seed Mix | 14-Free | 24 lb Case Pack

Gerbs Raw Pumpkin and Sunflower Seed Mix brings together two of the most nutritionally versatile seeds available in a clean, unprocessed blend: hull-removed raw pumpkin seed kernels and raw sunflower seed kernels. Both seeds are free of all 14 major allergens, both are processed in our dedicated family-owned facility in Johnston, Rhode Island, and both are sold with the same guarantee that has defined Gerbs since 2003, no shared lines, no co-manufacturers, and no hidden risk for the allergy community.

The mix works across a wide range of applications: straight snacking by the handful, scattered over salads and grain bowls, blended into smoothies, folded into homemade granola bars, or used as a nut-free seed base in trail mix recipes. Because neither seed is roasted or seasoned, the flavor is mild enough to adapt to any context. This 50 lb. bulk pack is designed for commercial buyers, large-scale food service operations, and high-volume allergen-conscious households.

This mix combines two of the most nutrient-dense raw seeds available: hull-removed pumpkin seed kernels (pepitas) and raw sunflower seed kernels. Both are naturally free of the top 14 allergens, making this mix a reliable go-to for individuals and families managing food sensitivities.

Pumpkin seeds are particularly valued for their magnesium and zinc content. Sunflower seeds contribute vitamin E and selenium. Together, they make a protein-rich, mineral-dense raw seed blend that works well as a snack, salad topper, or ingredient in homemade trail mixes and granola.

Both seeds are processed in Gerbs’ dedicated allergen-free facility in Johnston, Rhode Island, no shared equipment, no cross-contact risk.

A Leading Plant Source of Magnesium

A 1-ounce serving of pumpkin seed kernels provides approximately 168mg of magnesium, about 40% of the daily recommended value (USDA FoodData Central). The Mayo Clinic identifies magnesium as essential for hundreds of biochemical reactions in the body, including normal muscle and nerve function, steady heart rhythm, and the maintenance of healthy blood pressure.

Supports Normal Immune Function via Zinc

Pumpkin seeds are a meaningful dietary source of zinc, providing approximately 2.2mg per ounce, around 20% of the daily recommended value. According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, zinc plays a role in normal immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and cell division.

Plant-Based Protein for Allergy-Conscious Diets

One ounce of Gerbs pumpkin seed kernels delivers approximately 8-9 grams of protein. For individuals managing allergies to common protein sources such as tree nuts, dairy, or eggs, pumpkin seeds provide a clean, verifiable plant-based protein option with no cross-contamination risk.

Rich in Heart-Healthy Unsaturated Fats

The fat in pumpkin seeds is predominantly unsaturated, primarily oleic acid (monounsaturated) and linoleic acid (polyunsaturated). The USDA Dietary Guidelines recommend choosing unsaturated fats in place of saturated fats as part of a healthy dietary pattern.

Contains Antioxidants Including Vitamin E

Pumpkin seeds contain vitamin E and carotenoids, which function as antioxidants in the body. The Mayo Clinic describes antioxidants as substances that may help protect cells against damage from free radicals. Raw pumpkin seeds, being unprocessed, retain their natural antioxidant content.

As with all foods, individual results vary. Gerbs makes no medical claims about the treatment or prevention of any health condition.

Serving Size: 1 oz (28g) whole seeds | Servings Per 2 lb Bag: approx. 32

Nutritional values are per 1 oz of whole in-shell seed (hull included), based on USDA FoodData Central data. The edible kernel inside delivers a more concentrated nutrient profile. Salted varieties will contain added sodium; see product label for complete nutrition information.

Mild, clean, and subtly earthy, raw pumpkin and sunflower seeds in their unroasted state have a quiet, neutral flavor that pairs with virtually anything. The pumpkin seeds bring a soft, slightly chewy texture; the sunflower seeds contribute a lighter, crispier bite. Together the mix has a pleasant, varied texture profile. Both seeds deepen in flavor significantly when toasted lightly in a dry pan or roasted in the oven.
