Production & Sourcing
First, ripe pumpkins are harvested, and their seeds are extracted from the flesh and cleaned thoroughly to remove any remaining pumpkin residue.
The seeds are then dried to reduce moisture content, preserving them for storage and future use.
Once ready, the seeds are shelled, removing the outer hull to reveal the shiny green kernel inside
