In-Shell Pumpkin Seeds | Sea Salted

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

The benchmark in-shell pumpkin seed flavor: warm, well-roasted nuttiness from the slow roast process, paired with a confident, clean sea salt finish that coats the hull and carries into the kernel. The shell cracks with a satisfying dry snap and the kernel inside is rich and savory. If you have eaten roasted salted pumpkin seeds before, this is the flavor profile you remember, made with two clean ingredients and no allergen cross-contact.

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.

Some snacking classics are classics for a reason. Gerbs Traditional Sea Salted Roasted Whole Pumpkin Seeds are slow-roasted until the hull crisps to a dry, satisfying crack and the kernel inside develops a warm, nutty character, then finished with a confident sea salt coating that brings the whole thing together. This is the pumpkin seed as most seed-snacking fans know it best.

What sets the Gerbs version apart is where it is made: a dedicated allergen-free facility in Johnston, Rhode Island that processes no tree nuts, no peanuts, no gluten, and none of the other 12 major food allergens. For families where a shared bowl of seeds used to mean checking labels and hoping for the best, Gerbs removes that concern entirely.

American-grown. Two ingredients. Available in 2 lb. and 4 lb. resealable bags.

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.

Unsaturated Fats

The fat in pumpkin seeds is predominantly unsaturated, primarily oleic acid (monounsaturated) and linoleic acid (polyunsaturated). The Mayo Clinic identifies unsaturated fats as a beneficial part of a balanced diet when used in place of saturated fats.

Vitamin E

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

• 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.
