Question

Poll..When eating pumpkin seeds, do you just chew them up whole, or do you shell them?

Answer 1

I shell them.

Answer 2

Answer 3

whole, then sometimes the pieces get stuck in the back of my throat

so i have to run and drink some H2o.  :)

Answer 4

chew them whole

Answer 5

whole

Answer 6

I think if you bake them you can eat them whole.  

Answer 7

You can eat them raw.

Answer 8

shelled

Answer 9

Chew them whole.

Answer 10

Either way works. But when I make my own, people usually eat them whole.

Answer 11

Put the dried seeds in a frying pan on medium heat.  They will "pop" open and become very easy to shell.  Some will even shell themselves.  They are wonderful this way.

If they don't shell themselves, I eat it whole.

Answer 12

Chew them whole. Or bake them at 350 degrees for 30 min.

Answer 13

Wash them & dry them out. I do this sometimes & put them in dried fruit & nut mixes & eat them as is.

Ps. don't eat too many of them at one time as they are a good form of roughage ~ if you eat too many at once, you could end up spending a little bit more time on the porcelain throne than is necessary.
