How do you clean pumpkin seeds?
By hand! I grab a handful of pumpkin guts and remove, by hand, the big hunks of scrap. I toss the seeds, and the small bits stuck to them, in a bowl of heavily salted water and let them soak. I pick through the bowl from time to time until I have removed all the pumpkin bits from the seeds. Then I drain them, salt them, and roast them until crispy.
When do pumpkins release their seeds?
I dont think they do. The only time i know of seeds being released from a pumpkin is when you carve the pumkin for halloween. Goodday.
Can pumpkin seeds be roasted with pumpkin pie?
Normally, a pumpkin pie would be cooked at about 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40-60 minutes, depending on your recipe. Pumpkin seeds would be tossed with some oil and salt and then roasted on a cookie sheet at a higher temperature, maybe 400 degrees, for 10 to 15 minutes until just browned. You certainly CAN put the pumpkin seeds in at the same time as the pie, but it will probably slow down the cooking of the pie and the seeds both, and the seeds might not brown as nicely (they might also get soggy). But there's no harm in trying.
Best time to plant pumpkin seeds?
Seeds can be planted directly in the garden when the days consistently reach into the low 70's and the spring rains have tapered off. In colder climates, the seeds can be started indoors and transferred to the garden when the weather warms. Most pumpkins require 110 to 140 frost-free growing days.

Are green and white pumpkin seeds edible?
Pumpkin seeds have long been valued as a source of the mineral zinc, and the World Health Organization recommends their consumption as a good way of obtaining this nutrient. If you want to maximize the amount of zinc that you will be getting from your pumpkin seeds, we recommend that you consider purchasing them in unshelled form. Although recent studies have shown there to be little zinc in the shell itself (the shell is also called the seed coat or husk), there is a very thin layer directly beneath the shell called the endosperm envelope, and it is often pressed up very tightly against the shell. Zinc is especially concentrated in this endosperm envelope. Because it can be tricky to separate the endosperm envelope from the shell, eating the entire pumpkin seed-shell and all-will ensure that all of the zinc-containing portions of the seed will be consumed. Whole roasted, unshelled pumpkin seeds contain about 10 milligrams of zinc per 3.5 ounces, and shelled roasted pumpkin seeds (which are often referred to pumpkin seed kernels) contain about 7-8 milligrams. So even though the difference is not huge, and even though the seed kernels remain a good source of zinc, you'll be able to increase your zinc intake if you consume the unshelled version.While pumpkin seeds are not a highly rich source of vitamin E in the form of alpha-tocopherol, recent studies have shown that pumpkin seeds provide us with vitamin E in a wide diversity of forms. From any fixed amount of a vitamin, we are likely to get more health benefits when we are provided with that vitamin in all of its different forms. In the case of pumpkin seeds, vitamin E is found in all of the following forms: alpha-tocopherol, gamma-tocopherol, delta-tocopherol, alpha-tocomonoenol, and gamma-tocomonoenol. These last two forms have only recently been discovered in pumpkin seeds, and their health benefits-including antioxidant benefits-are a topic of current interest in vitamin E research, since their bioavailability might be greater than some of the other vitamin E forms. The bottom line: pumpkin seeds' vitamin E content may bring us more health benefits that we would ordinarily expect due to the diverse forms of vitamin E found in this food.In our Tips for Preparing section, we recommend a roasting time for pumpkin seeds of no more than 15-20 minutes when roasting at home. This recommendation supported by a new study that pinpointed 20 minutes as a threshold time for changes in pumpkin seed fats. In this recent study, pumpkin seeds were roasted in a microwave oven for varying lengths of time, and limited changes in the pumpkin seeds fat were determined to occur under 20 minutes. However, when the seeds were roasted for longer than 20 minutes, a number of unwanted changes in fat structure were determined to occur more frequently.
How to Cook Pumpkin Seeds?
Pumpkins are a staple in most households every autumn. We carve them up in October for Halloween, and then bake them into delicious pies each November at Thanksgiving. Often, however, the seeds go waste because it seems too difficult or time-consuming to bake them. Here is an easy guide to cooking pumpkin seeds. 1. Make sure to separate the seeds from the flesh of the pumpkin. There may be several stringy pieces, so do your best to distinguish the pulp from the seeds. This is much easier to do with a freshly carved pumpkin that one that has been carved for some time. 2. Rinse the seeds with cold water, removing any sticky flesh that might still be on them. For extra salty seeds, boil them now for 10 minutes in very salty water, and then rinse again. Otherwise, skip this step and move along to number 4. 3. Dry the pumpkin seeds with paper towels, and pat until there is no more moisture. 4. Add your flavorings. Choose a traditional coating of salt, or experiment with flavors like sugar, tabasco, cumin, or garlic salt. Add more or less of the toppings depending on your preference. 5. Add a spoonful of oil to the seeds. Mix the seeds with the flavorings and oil, until each seed is coated on both sides. Use your hands or a spoon if you prefer. 6. Spread the seeds in a single layer onto a baking sheet or any oven-proof dish, as evenly spaced as possible. Try not to have the seeds touching one another. 7. Bake your pumpkin seeds in a preheated oven at 325 degrees for about 25 minutes. Check halfway and stir the seeds to ensure even cooking and no burnt edges. 8. Be sure to let the seeds completely cool before removing them from the tray. 9. You can eat these delicious baked pumpkin seeds straight away! 10. If you need to store the seeds to eat later, be sure to put them somewhere airtight, like a ziploc baggie or an airtight canister. If you will consume them within 7 days, feel free to store them at room temperature. However, if you want to keep them fresh for up to six weeks, keep the bags or canisters in the refrigerator.
Why do smaller pumpkins have more pumpkin seeds than larger pumpkins?

When is the best time to carve a pumpkin?
You should carve a pumpkin 1 or 2 days before Halloween. If you carve it too early, the pumpkin will start to rot/decay. Even better, carve it on the day of Halloween so you can light it before you go trick or treating. We usually carve at least two or three per season. We carve a couple earlier in October so we can always have one on the porch. We also love roasted pumpkin seeds! Then, we carve our last one the night before Halloween, so we can have a fresh one on the porch when trick-or-treaters come.
