Pumpkin Seeds – A Nutty Delight
Whether as a crunchy topping, a fine baking ingredient, or a snack for in between: pumpkin seeds always fit right in. Natural, chopped, ground, or roasted – they bring their signature nutty aroma to sweet and savoury dishes alike, and make you want to enjoy a taste of Styria more often.
Cultivation & Processing
Genuinely from Austria
Behind every pack of pumpkin seeds lies a piece of Styria: the Protected Geographical Indication “Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil PGI” ensures that the oil pumpkin comes from the defined growing region – controlled by certified operations.
Over the summer, the oil pumpkin ripens in the fields. In autumn, the ripe fruit is harvested and the dark green, hull-less seeds are extracted, gently dried, and sorted. This is how every pack captures what makes Styria special: 100% pumpkin seeds from the traditional PGI growing region.
