Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are Pumpkin Seeds called in Urdu?
Pumpkin Seeds are called Kaddu ke Beej (کدو کے بیج) in Urdu. They are also sometimes referred to as Tukhm-e-Kaddu or Pepitas. In Pakistani households, Kaddu refers to the pumpkin fruit, and its seeds were traditionally discarded, though they’ve seen a renewed appreciation in recent years.
Q: How many pumpkin seeds should I eat per day?
One to two small handfuls, approximately 28–30g or 1 ounce, per day is a common serving for most healthy adults. Keep portions sensible as pumpkin seeds are calorie-dense.
Q: Can I eat pumpkin seeds raw or do they need to be roasted?
Both raw and roasted pumpkin seeds are enjoyable. Raw seeds preserve slightly more nutrients, while roasting enhances the flavor and adds a pleasant crunch. If roasting at home, use low heat and avoid adding excessive salt or oil.
Q: Are pumpkin seeds safe for children?
Yes, in small amounts. They make a snack for children and can be sprinkled over food or added to baked goods. Ensure seeds are hulled and not too hard for young children.
