The natural pumpkin seeds are organically grown and contain valuable fibre. Their protein and mineral content make them ideal for a healthy lifestyle. Pumpkin seeds are very versatile. They can be added to muesli, salads and vegetable dishes. They can also be added to soups, especially an autumnal pumpkin soup. Pumpkin seeds are an ideal baking ingredient for bread and rolls, and are also a real treat and snack on their own.

Origin and history

Pumpkin seeds have been known for over 7,000 years. They first spread beyond North and South America with the Americas and have since spread to all the warmer regions of the world. Since the 16th century, human cultivation has contributed to the rapid spread of this ancient crop.

The three most common pumpkin varieties

Only five of the more than 800 species of pumpkin known to exist in the world are cultivated, with the giant, garden and musk pumpkin being the most common in gardens. Pumpkins can weigh more than 200 kilograms. This means that pumpkins produce the largest fruits. However, each pumpkin fruit contains around 150 seeds, regardless of size, and the pumpkin is actually not a fruit at all, but a berry. Because of its extremely hard skin, the pumpkin is commonly known as the "armour berry", which contains the pumpkin seeds.

Harvesting pumpkin seeds

Pumpkins take 60-150 days to ripen to harvest. They are usually harvested overripe between August and October to make the flesh easier to remove. The pumpkin seeds are separated from the flesh by machine or often by hand, washed and then dried. The seeds are then peeled and dried again.

Taste and use

With a mild, nutty flavour, crunchy pumpkin seeds go well in savoury dishes, muesli, salads, soups or as a snack. They are also ideal for baking bread and rolls. They also have a slightly creamy taste due to their high oil content.

Small seeds with a big "heart-healthy" effect

Pumpkin seeds are the seeds of the pumpkin and contain valuable vitamins and enzymes, unsaturated fatty acids and minerals such as beta-carotene, magnesium, iron, zinc, selenium and phytosterols, their most valuable constituents, which are said to be particularly effective in preventing and relieving bladder and prostate problems. Pumpkin seeds are a good source of protein, containing around 30g per 100g.

Kürbiskerne werden ja immer als "die grünen Kraftwerke" bezeichnet - die Kürbiskernen der Ölmühle Solling haben diese Bezeichnung auch wirklich verdient, sie sind so knackig und prall und sind so kraftvoll und aromatisch im Geschmack, da schmeckt man wirklich eine "gute Kraft"!
from Elke Hennen at 01.05.2023
Die Kürbiskerne sind qualitativ hochwertig, ich mag sie gern, vom Geschmack her, die Größe... Die Gläser verwende ich auch weiter, weil sie eine tolle Größe haben! Ich bin zufrieden und werde sie zukünftig regelmäßig kaufen!

Ich bin von der Qualität absolut überzeugt und begeistert. Die Kerne sind sehr geschmackvoll aber überhaupt nicht bitter oder das ein fauler dazwischen ist, habe ich auch noch nie erlebt. Daher probieren sie es selber aus .

Nach der erstmaligen Bestellung war die Tüte innerhalb weniger Tage leer, hmmm, so eine leckere, gesunde Knabberei! Die Kerne schmecken im Müsli, Salat, zu Rohkost oder "einfach so" ;-) und wurden daher umgehend neu bestellt!

Die angebotenen Kürbiskerne sind geschmacklich sehr gut. Bis ich sie hier erstmalig bestellt habe, war mir ein Qualitätsunterschied gar nicht so bewusst. Seitdem bestelle ich die Kerne regelmäßig bei der Ölmühle Solling.
