Pumpkin Seed Kernel

Our Premium Pumpkin Seed Kernels are carefully sourced from high-quality pumpkins grown in China, Austria, and Eastern Europe, regions known for producing seeds with exceptional taste, vibrant color, and high nutritional value. Each batch is mechanically cleaned, graded, de-hulled, and processed under strict food safety certifications (HACCP, ISO 22000, and FDA) to ensure superior purity, consistent size, and excellent freshness.

Pumpkin seed kernels, also known as pepitas, are highly valued for their rich, nutty flavor and dense nutritional profile. They are naturally rich in protein, healthy fats, magnesium, zinc, and antioxidants, making them an ideal choice for the food, health, and snack industries.

Available in raw, roasted, salted, and unsalted forms, our pumpkin seed kernels are 100% natural, non-GMO, gluten-free, and preservative-free, suitable for both industrial processing and direct retail consumption.
