Pumpkin Seeds Raw Chemical Free 1kg

Australia’s only locally grown “naked” pumpkin seeds — a deep green, hull-less seed variety traditionally grown in Central Europe. These premium raw seeds are grown by Pepo Farms in Victoria’s Ovens Valley. The seeds are unroasted, untreated, and minimally processed, retaining their delicate nutty flavour and high nutritional value.

About the Producer

They are the only farm in Australia cultivating the Cucurbita pepo var. styriaca variety — a special pumpkin that produces seeds without a hard outer shell. Everything from growing to harvesting and processing is done on-site, including small-batch cold-pressing, roasting, and milling.

FAQs

What makes these pumpkin seeds different from regular pepitas?

These are from a unique pumpkin variety with naturally hull-less seeds with a high oil content. Most commercial pepitas come from pumpkins where the hull must be mechanically removed. These require no shelling and offer a softer texture and more flavour.

Are the pumpkin seeds certified organic?

No. While Pepo Farms follows low-input, chemical-free, biodynamic practices, they are not currently certified organic.

Are the pumpkin seeds raw?

Yes — these seeds are not roasted or treated with heat. They can be eaten raw or lightly toasted.

Where are these pumpkin seeds grown?

In the Ovens Valley of northeast Victoria — Australia’s only commercial pumpkin seed farm.
