GERBS Unsalted Pumpkin Seed Kernels 2 LBS|Top 14 Allergy Free Food |Use in salads, yogurt, bake, oatmeal, trail mix|Grown in Canada, packed in US

I like the different varieties of salt. Love this brand of pumpkin seeds. Organic and allergy friendly. Very good price and quantity for the money. Have bought them for 3 years now. Very addictive and delicious.

Delicious and Sourced from Canada. So many from China packages are misleading l.

I sprinkle these on my green salads for extra nutrition. Have ordered many times over past few years. Consistent quality.

theses were fresh, real good, i bought these before from another company and they were stale

Roasted and salted are better.

Love them. Beats store bought for sure

Years ago a slightly older friend of mine ate pumpkin seeds as a supplement to address prostate issues and swore by their effectiveness. I now have the same concerns as I find myself having to get up again and again during the night or sometimes having to "wait for the stream" to happen. My first thought was all pumpkin seeds are the same so I'd just get the most for the cheapest but as a Baha'i I have learned to investigate everything for myself, not just big things like religion and politics but also the food that goes in my body. So, I figured I would check out a few reviews about freshness which led to other things to look for such as where they came from, are they non-GMO, were others happy - and when I finally finished my search, for what I wanted, Gerbs was at the top of the list and... the price though not the cheapest is a best deal for the quality. After receiving them I can attest to the taste and freshness, they are as expected. Hopefully, they'll help do the job I need them for.

My first purchases were in shell seeds. I ended up picking through ones that "looked ok" to eat in shell, but ones that had any discoloration on the seed (not sure if toasting stopped mold development or what the blackish areas are) I shelled with a nut cracker. I'd say I ended up shelling about half the bag. I gave three stars because I don't mind shelling, they still tasted good, and the grocery equivalent in my area has the same issues - ones that look "clean" I eat "as is" and I shell the rest to be on the safe side. Knowing this, getting roasted shelled unsalted is a better way to go, but I do like the outer shell as I read it ups the zinc content to eat them whole.Update: Tried lightly sea salted kernals and these had black specs also! But you can't shell them to get rid of it. The unopened bags are going back as defective. Buyer beware. Photos are just a sampling- most of the bag is like this.
