In-Shell Pumpkin Seeds | Extra Sea Salted

Dry Roasted Pumpkin Seeds, Sea Salt. Country of Origin: United States.

Bold, punchy, and unambiguously salty, this variety leads with salt and lets the warm roasted seed character play a supporting role. The hull carries a heavy salt coating that hits your palate immediately on cracking. If you find standard sea salted seeds underwhelming on the salt front, this is your variety. If you prefer a lighter salt touch, consider our Lightly Sea Salted option. The kernel inside is the same warm, nutty roasted seed as all in-shell varieties, the salt is what defines this one.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Once opened, reseal the bag tightly after each use. For best quality after opening:

• Room temperature: up to 3 months in a sealed container
• Refrigerator: up to 6 months
• Freezer: up to 12 months

Moisture and heat are the main enemies of seed freshness. Avoid storing near the stove, dishwasher, or in humid pantry spaces. If seeds develop an off or rancid smell, discard, do not consume.

Gerbs Extra Sea Salted Roasted Whole Pumpkin Seeds are for the salt lovers in your household. The seeds are slow-roasted until the hull is perfectly dry and crisp, then finished with a generous sea salt application that coats each seed for a bold, intensely savory snacking experience. This is the most aggressively seasoned variety in our in-shell lineup.

Made in our dedicated facility in Johnston, Rhode Island, with no shared lines with any of the top 14 major allergens. The only thing different from our standard sea salted variety is the salt level, and the salt level here is unmistakably heavy.

Two ingredients, available in 2 lb. and 4 lb. resealable bags. Check the label for sodium content if you are monitoring your sodium intake.

Pumpkin seeds are the edible seeds of pumpkin squash (Cucurbita species), harvested, cleaned, and dried or roasted for consumption. The in-shell variety is the whole seed with its white fibrous hull still attached, they are larger, provide additional dietary fiber from the hull, and deliver a satisfying crack-and-crunch snacking experience. The inner kernel (also called a pepita) is the flat, oval, dark-green seed you find inside.

In-shell pumpkin seeds have a long history as a snacking staple across North America and are commonly enjoyed roasted with sea salt. They are distinct from hull-removed pepitas, which are softer, easier to chew, and better suited for baking and salads. Gerbs carries both a standard and jumbo in-shell variety, the jumbo seeds are larger and deliver a bigger kernel with the same clean nutritional profile.

Gerbs in-shell pumpkin seeds are grown in the United States and processed in our family-owned facility in Johnston, Rhode Island, on dedicated equipment free of all 14 major allergens.

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).

Zinc

Pumpkin seeds are a meaningful dietary source of zinc, providing approximately 2.2mg per ounce, around 20% of the daily recommended value.

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 plant-based protein option, free from the top 14 allergens.

• Crack-and-snack: The classic way to enjoy in-shell seeds, crack the shell with your teeth, eat the kernel, and repeat. A satisfying, mindful snacking experience.
• Football and game day: A traditional seed-snacking setting, grab a bowl, crack away, and enjoy alongside beverages.
• Light roasting at home: If you receive raw in-shell seeds and want a warmer flavor, spread on a baking sheet and roast at 325°F for 15-20 minutes until the shells are dry and lightly colored. Toss with a small amount of sea salt immediately after removing from the oven.
• Shelling for cooking: If a recipe calls for pepitas (hull-removed kernels) and you only have in-shell seeds, crack and shell a batch by hand. It takes time but delivers fresh kernels on demand.
