Flavor & Texture Profile

The jumbo shell cracks with a big, dry, deeply satisfying snap. The kernel inside is warm, rich, and nutty from the roasting, with a light sea salt note that lifts the flavor and makes each bite feel complete. The salt level here is notably restrained, more of a complement than a statement. If you want more salt impact, see our standard Sea Salted or Extra Sea Salted in-shell varieties. For most snackers, this light-salt jumbo hits the right balance of size, flavor, and seasoning.

Storage Recommendations

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Once opened, reseal the bag tightly after each use. For best quality after opening:

  • Room temperature: up to 3 months in a sealed container
  • Refrigerator: up to 6 months
  • Freezer: up to 12 months

Moisture and heat are the main enemies of seed freshness. Avoid storing near the stove, dishwasher, or in humid pantry spaces. If seeds develop an off or rancid smell, discard, do not consume.

What Are Pumpkin Seeds?

Gerbs Jumbo Lightly Sea Salted Roasted Whole Pumpkin Seeds are the go-to in-shell option for those who want the full jumbo snacking experience, the oversized crack, the bigger kernel, with just enough sea salt to round out the flavor. The light salt application complements the roasted seed without overpowering it, making this one of the most versatile and crowd-pleasing varieties in our jumbo lineup.

Slow-roasted in our dedicated allergen-free facility in Johnston, Rhode Island, with two clean ingredients: jumbo pumpkin seeds and sea salt. No shared lines with any of the top 14 major allergens. The jumbo size delivers a larger kernel inside each shell, more satisfying per seed than the standard in-shell variety, and is free from the same top 14 allergens.

Available in 14 oz., 2 lb., and 4 lb. resealable bags.

Pumpkin seeds are the edible seeds of pumpkin squash (Cucurbita species), harvested, cleaned, and dried or roasted for consumption. The in-shell variety is the whole seed with its white fibrous hull still attached, they are larger, provide additional dietary fiber from the hull, and deliver a satisfying crack-and-crunch snacking experience. The inner kernel (also called a pepita) is the flat, oval, dark-green seed you find inside.

In-shell pumpkin seeds have a long history as a snacking staple across North America and are commonly enjoyed roasted with sea salt. They are distinct from hull-removed pepitas, which are softer, easier to chew, and better suited for baking and salads. Jumbo in-shell pumpkin seeds are a larger seed variety, producing a heartier cracking experience and a bigger kernel inside.

Gerbs in-shell pumpkin seeds are grown in the United States and processed in our family-owned facility in Johnston, Rhode Island, on dedicated equipment free of all 14 major allergens.

What Is in Pumpkin Seeds

Magnesium

A 1-ounce serving of pumpkin seed kernels provides approximately 168mg of magnesium, about 40% of the daily recommended value (USDA FoodData Central).

Zinc

Pumpkin seeds provide approximately 2.2mg of zinc per ounce, around 20% of the daily recommended value.

Unsaturated Fats

The fat in pumpkin seeds is predominantly unsaturated, primarily oleic acid (monounsaturated) and linoleic acid (polyunsaturated). The Mayo Clinic identifies unsaturated fats as a beneficial part of a balanced diet when used in place of saturated fats.

Vitamin E

As with all foods, individual results vary. Gerbs makes no medical claims about the treatment or prevention of any health condition.

How to Use In-Shell Pumpkin Seeds

  • Crack-and-snack: The classic way to enjoy in-shell seeds, crack the shell with your teeth, eat the kernel, and repeat. A satisfying, mindful snacking experience.
  • Football and game day: A traditional seed-snacking setting, grab a bowl, crack away, and enjoy alongside beverages.
  • Light roasting at home: If you receive raw in-shell seeds and want a warmer flavor, spread on a baking sheet and roast at 325°F for 15-20 minutes until the shells are dry and lightly colored. Toss with a small amount of sea salt immediately after removing from the oven.
  • Shelling for cooking: If a recipe calls for pepitas (hull-removed kernels) and you only have in-shell seeds, crack and shell a batch by hand. It takes time but delivers fresh kernels on demand.

FAQ

Are Gerbs pumpkin seeds safe for people with nut allergies?

Gerbs pumpkin seeds are free from the top 14 allergens, including peanuts and tree nuts. If you have a severe allergy, call us at (401) 231-5181 or email [email protected] before ordering.

Are Gerbs pumpkin seeds processed in a gluten-free facility?

Yes. Our facility and our entire product line are free from all 14 major allergens. Handled by trained staff on dedicated equipment, with no shared lines with any gluten-containing products.

What is the difference between standard and jumbo in-shell pumpkin seeds?

The jumbo variety is a larger seed, producing a bigger kernel inside and a heartier shell-cracking experience. The nutritional profile is essentially the same as the standard in-shell variety, the difference is purely in size and the eating experience. If you enjoy a more substantial crack and a larger bite, the jumbo size is worth trying.

How do I crack in-shell pumpkin seeds?

Hold the seed between your front teeth and apply gentle pressure until the shell splits along its seam. The kernel inside should pop out cleanly. With a little practice, this becomes a fast and satisfying snacking rhythm. Alternatively, place a handful on a cutting board and press gently with the flat side of a knife to split the shells, then separate the kernels.

Where are Gerbs pumpkin seeds sourced from?

Gerbs pumpkin seeds are grown in the United States and processed in our family-owned and -operated facility in Johnston, Rhode Island. The Conte family has been running this operation since 2003.

How should I store Gerbs pumpkin seeds once opened?

Reseal the bag tightly after each use, or transfer to an airtight container. At room temperature, seeds stay fresh for up to 3 months after opening. Refrigerate for up to 6 months or freeze for up to 12 months for longer storage. Keep away from heat and moisture.

  1. Michael T. – Verified Buyer

    Great product and great customer service

  2. kerryteacher74 – Verified Buyer

    When my source of GF pumpkin seeds changed manufacturing processes (certified GF means nothing for my body if the processing facility has any trace of gluten), I immediately checked Gerbs as I’d found it searching for GF / clean buckwheat groats (fantastic!).

    These seeds are lovely and tasty, a great snack. I love having the outer shell as an added source of nutrition and flavor. The only thing I’d change is decreasing the salt. They feel a bit more than “lightly salted,” which might just be my taste buds. My future plan is to purchase both raw and lightly salted bags to mix for slightly less salt/sodium.

  3. Taylor Zummo – Verified Buyer

    For having nut allergies for my entire life, I could only eat pumpkin seeds made from scratch during the Fall season. I was so excited to find this website and be able to order seeds for the first time!!! They are DELICIOUS!!!!

  4. Saundra Melendez – Verified Buyer

    Totally enjoy Gerbs pumpkin seeds. They are fresh, crispy and just a touch of salt adds to the delicious taste.

  5. Karen – Verified Buyer

    These have become one of our favorite snacks. They taste great and are healthy. It is fun to crack them open. They also takes a little more time to eat than ones without shells so you’re brain knows that you’re eating and you need to eat less to be satisfied.

  6. elegantproducts2016 – Verified Buyer

    The best pumpkin seeds you can find! Totally addicted!

  7. Christine – Verified Buyer

    Love the jumbo pumpkin seeds. Full of flavor. My 13 year old takes them to school as a healthy snack. We eat shells and all.

  8. Mike Coombs – Verified Buyer

    These seeds are large and are easy to de-shell in your mouth like a sunflower seed. They also have good flavor.
