Product Overview

Middle Egypt Pumpkin Seeds

Egyptian pumpkin seeds (Cucurbita pepo L.) from Middle Egypt are valued for their large kernel size, dark green color (GWS – grown without shell variety), and high nutritional profile rich in zinc, magnesium, and healthy fats. Middle Egypt's warm growing season and well-drained soils produce pumpkin seeds with excellent kernel-to-shell ratio and the deep green color that commands premium pricing in European and Asian health food markets.

HS Herbs supplies pumpkin seeds in-shell and as hulled GWS (shine-skin) kernels, available raw or roasted. Our seeds are mechanically cleaned, size-graded, and color-sorted. GWS kernels are processed to remove broken pieces and shell fragments. Each lot is tested for oil content, moisture, free fatty acids, and complete microbiology.

Applications include healthy snacking, bakery toppings, granola and muesli blends, trail mix, salad toppings, pumpkin seed oil pressing, and dietary supplement formulations. HS Herbs exports to health food brands, snack manufacturers, and bakery ingredient suppliers worldwide.
