Summary:
There are always plenty of pumpkins to carve up around and after Halloween time and a great way to make use of the seeds is eat them.
Here are some good recipes for preparing pumpkin seeds for eating...and what a treat they are!
If they are toasted and salted properly they are wonderfully crunchy and easy to eat. It helps if you are going to eat them with the shells on if you use seeds from sugar pumpkins, somewhat smaller than the mega-sized carving pumpkins (not really pumpkins but large squash). The trick? Boil the seeds in salted water first, and then toast them in the oven. Recipes on how to make pumpkin seeds.
