Adam and Joanne’s Ideas
- Storing: Enable the roasted seeds to chill, then retailer them in an air-tight container. They’ll final this manner at room temperature for a few weeks and within the freezer for just a few months.
- Are you able to eat pumpkin seed shells? We benefit from the shells and love that they add some additional fiber. In case you don’t just like the shells, you may at all times hull them after roasting. I normally do that by biting into the seed and utilizing my enamel to crack the shell.
