Pumpkins with edible seeds. - Veggie - 15-06-2024
Some pumpkins have hull-less (or semi-hull-less seeds) which makes them better for eating. Unfortunately, it seems, the actual pumpkin flesh can be stringy and not so good for eating.
Doublyjonah mentioned them at https://gardenandgossip.org/showthread.php?tid=2084&page=6 .
Let's make a list of the varieties we come across - with retailers descriptions.

I would imagine that all pumkin seeds are edible? but gourd seeds are not?

Normal pumpkin seeds are edible but they have a crunchy shell. The ones on this list are soft shelled/hull less.

I feel an experiment coming on - feel free to join me!
I want to see if shop bought edible pumpkin seeds are viable, so I'm going to put some on damp kitchen paper and see if they sprout. If they do, it would save a lot of expense, tracking down the few commercial seeds that are on sale.

Are the shop bought seeds 'edible seed' pumpkins or normal pumpkin seed mechanically husked? How can you tell?

I can't be 100% confident but they're dark green and look the part and they came from Aldi so they have to be the real thing!!

I looked into how to hull pumpkin seeds and the internet seemed to suggest that the commercial edible seeds are simply grown from the hull-less variety rather than shelled. That's how I came to have my Triple Treats in the first place. Still not planted out because all my seedlings are pipsqueaks this year...
Besides, her seeds are from Aldi, so...
