Today I removed the seeds from the Austrian oil seed pumpkins. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now – basically since they were harvested! But today it actually happened. From 11 pumpkins I took 1.311kg of seeds. These were rinsed in a colander, spread on oven trays and baked at 100°C for about 90 minutes. They are delicious – nutty and crunchy.
These are the pumpkins. The ones that were entirely green had no ripe seeds.
Waiting for seed removal.
Next year’s pumpkins!
Seeds before roasting.
For the compost heap!
