Pumpkin seeds and such.  email this discussion to a friend?

I was thinking the other day when a friend suggested eating sunflower seeds. It got me to thinking about roasted pumpkin seeds. I had always eaten them like a sunflower seed. Crack open eat the meat that's in the middle throw away the shell. Then one day I was given pumpkin seeds and was told to eat the whole thing, outside and in. Well, I did. Now it brings up a question:
When you eat pumpkin seeds, do you eat the whole thing or crack it open like a sunflower seed?
Do you eat the shell of the sunflower seed too?

I eat all of the sunflower seed. I love them a lot and can't get enough.

Right now all I have are sunflower seeds in shells. It takes so much work to eat them. lol
So do you suck on them to get the shell soft to chew?

For years I thought it was strange to eat pumpkin seeds. I actually tried them a few years ago and loved them. Each halloween we scoop them out, dry them out, salt them with sea salt then bake them. I eat them whole with the shell on them. No, I dont eat sunflower seed shells. I have tried taking the shells off pupkin seeds but the shells still taste fine whereas sunflower seeds taste gross.

I really would love to roast my own. We can hardly find pumpkin seeds around the stores. I like eating the whole pumpkin seed.

No, I don't eat the shells of pumpkin or sunflower seeds. I am used to removing that and it gives me an uncomfortable feeling when I eat the whole seed with a shell on.

I had always thought pumpkin and sunflower seeds was like a peanut. Shell the things and eat the good part. lol

well I remember back when I was in little league when I was a kid they would those seeds everywhere all over the dugout.

I never really got into that or tried it, because it just seem to make such a mess all over the place and I was more focused on playing the game then all the other stuff.

So i never tried any kind of seeds that I can remember, but I know most of the kids seem to like those sunflower seeds back then and I just didn't understand the fascination with it, but each person has their own way of doing things and I didn't have a problem with it except that it made quite a mess with them all over the place.

I would not have known that you could actually eat the pumpkin seeds as I would just rather eat the pumpkin rolls or the pumpkin pie that are my favorite things to do with pumpkin never been much of a seed person or a seed eater, but to those of you that like them enjoy.

Well, I do know sunflower seeds makes your mouth water so you can spit like the big leagues. I do find it gross to find sucked on shell all over the place. Reminds me of 4th of July watermelon seed spittin' contests.

Hi only,
As a big fan of both I can only tell you what I personally do.
With sunflower seeds I only eat the insides because the shells are so hard.( I like the B-B-Q flavor. But with Pumpkin seeds I eat the whole thing with no problem. It's a very good source of fiber!
Cheers!

I've been shelling sunflower seeds all day. I just can't seem to get myself to eat the shell. I have eaten the pumpkin seeds and shell and that is doable. lol
