GERBSAAA Raw Pumpkin Seed Kernels 2 lbs. | Top 14 Allergen-Free | Super Snack Food | Grown in Canada

I tried several lower priced brands and was disappointed. GERBS has offered pumpkin seeds from Mexico and now Canada and the taste has always been spectacular. I eat these raw or air fry 280° to 350°, anywhere from 8 to 13 minutes. I cool them on parchment paper, letting them pop open from higher temperatures as they cool. Raw is healthier, 350° makes for a really tasty & crisp treat. I slide them into a jar, (and before they are too cool) add a tablespoon or two of olive oil and salt to taste, and shake.Especially when eaten raw and added to other foods (salads, cereal, even meats), they make for better chewing and, arguably, better digestion.

I just did a quick query on my Amazon account to find out how many pounds of pumpkin seeds I have ordered over the last few years. It turns out that I've ordered and consumed 25 pounds of pumpkin seeds in four years!I really enjoy pumpkin seeds and have ordered them from a few different sources here on Amazon. But this latest two-pound batch from GERBS sets a new standard in my book. Absolutely delicious!I don't have the the proper words to describe the freshness and flavor, but I will just say that these tasted the most "pumpkinish" to me so far. They are super fresh, and super tasty, and that's coming from someone who really fancies pumpkin seeds! LOL.I did notice on the bag that this batch was grown in Canada, and they taste like they are fresh from the farm. In my experience, the more local the seeds, the better the taste. A big thank you to our friends up north for growing a fine product!

These seeds are clean, easy to dispense and tasty. I like them very much

I have been eating these pumpkin seeds for a while now. These raw pumpkin seeds are tasty and clean.

I absolutely love this company. Gerbs is an example of what happens when intelligent, motivated people put their minds to something.In my house, there is someone with a severe peanut / tree nut allergy. As in, death by ingestion and cross contamination.In order to take include seeds in my diet, it's not possible to use any mainstream brands because they generally have no idea how their food actually gets handled and the life cycle of their products.Enter "Gerbs". They understood how to source, handle and distribute seeds and other products without exposure to the top allergens.Not only are their seeds free of nut and other cross-contamination issues, they're just better seeds. From the pumpkin seeds to the sunflower seeds, they are all incredible.The only thing I could possibly ask for from Gerbs is to make their lightly salted seeds a little bit less salty. But I am really salt sensitive, so I get why I'm asking that.Thanks Gerbs - Keep up the great work!

I was overjoyed when I found that there were pumpkin seeds not sourced in China! I bought Sunbest which are sourced from China and they had an off flavor that was unsettling enough that I went on a mission to find some not sourced from there! Many said USA, but I found out that if raw seeds are shipped from China to here and a company roasts them they put USA on the bag even though the origin was China! This is an easy way to hide the inferior quality of seeds from massively polluted China!

This is a special product, and in a time when so much of what we consume comes from 'over there,'it's wonderful to have a food product from 'over here,' from Rhode Island, no less. I've relied on raw pumpkins for quite a long time, ever since I researched for healthy foods for prostate health... Beyond that, raw pumpkin seeds are extraordinary for heart and liver health as well. This Gerbs contribution is lower priced than the other brands I've tried and it seems to me that the quality is a mark above the others. I take about a quarter cup daily, in teaspoon portions in breakfast cereal and drinks. They are even quite tasty taken as a crunchy snack when I want to avoid a sugary obsession of mine, i.e., chocolate. I've begun to look for the faces of those two stalwart men on the label. I'm hooked on their products. As a sidenote, be sure to check out their 'Seed Meal.' You won't be disappointed! Buy American! Buy Gerbs!
