I like pumpkin seeds, both to nibble, and to chuck a handful into the bread dough.
I know you need particular varieties of pumpkin to be able to gather the edible seeds (they've gotta be 'naked' ones ;) apparantly), but apart from the eminently suitably named 'Lady Godiva' in the Organic Catalogue, I can't find any others. Is it a case of Hobson's Choice? Or does anyone have any other possibilities?
Oooh good question!
I was kinda hoping it was all kinds (roasted with a little olive oil + sea salt).
Didn't know you could get naked!
you can eat all kinds, yes - with the crust. roast, lightly salt while still warm - yummy.
the posher types dont like the hard crunchy shell though - and for bread making a 'naked' pip is much preferrred. i am growing 'baby bear' which i think has very thin shells - they certainly looked quite different when i sowed them :)
