Disclaimer
What Are Pepitas publishes general cooking and food-composition reference content. It is provided for information only.
Not medical or dietary advice
Nothing on this site is medical advice, nutrition advice, or a substitute for professional guidance about your own diet. We make no health claims: nutrient figures are stated as composition, not as effects. If you have an allergy, a medical condition, or dietary requirements, consult a qualified professional.
Allergens
Seeds are not tree nuts, but they are handled, packed and sold alongside nuts and other allergens. Cross-contact is possible. Always read the label on the specific package you buy.
Food safety
Follow the storage guidance on each page and use your own judgement: discard anything with an off smell, visible mould or a rancid taste. Home-dried and home-roasted products keep for shorter periods than commercial ones.
Numbers are approximations
Nutrient values are rounded from public food-composition databases and vary by cultivar, growing conditions and processing. Temperatures and times are starting points; ovens, pans and seed moisture all shift them. Use the doneness cues on each page rather than the clock alone.
No endorsement
We sell nothing and accept no payment for placement. Mention of a store, channel or product type is descriptive, not a recommendation or a guarantee of availability or price.
