Introduction
You've probably seen them in dry fruit shops, sprinkled on chaat, or mentioned in seed cycling routines — but do you actually know what kaddu ke beej (pumpkin seeds) can do for you? This guide covers everything Pakistani buyers need to know: what they are, how to eat them, how much they cost, and where to buy a pure, unroasted version that hasn't been sitting on a shelf for months.
What Are Pumpkin Seeds? (Kaddu Ke Beej Kya Hote Hain?)
Kaddu ke beej are the edible seeds found inside pumpkins. In Pakistan, they're sold raw or roasted, shelled or unshelled. The green, shelled version is the most common and the most useful — it's what you want for eating daily.

Raw vs Roasted Pumpkin Seeds — Which Should You Buy?
Raw seeds retain their natural oils and nutrients. Roasted seeds are crunchier and more flavorful but some heat-sensitive nutrients are reduced. For daily nutritional use, raw is better. For snacking, roasted works fine.
