Sometimes the simplest snacks are the best snacks. Like these Organic Salted Pumpkin Seeds from CB’s Nuts. Made with only pumpkin seeds and sea salt, it’s almost magical how much flavor each crunchy pip contains. But that’s what happens when you start with the best ingredients and treat them with TLC. CB’s brines their pumpkin seeds in water and salt (that’s it!), then dries and slowly barrel roasts them. It’s this small-batch process that gives these small seeds their big flavor: the slow, thorough roasting draws out the natural oils and evenly toasts each kernel. The result is a crisp, nutty treat that’s bursting with flavor (and every antioxidant known to humanity). CB’s sources their pumpkin seeds from Oregon farmers who have revolutionized sustainable farming: they use the byproduct from growing fruits and veggies to power their entire operation – and over 1000 local homes, too! Good for you, good for the earth, good for humanity…all in a tiny pumpkin seed. Now that’s a great pumpkin! Tip of the Tongue We eat these by the handful at all times of the day, but they’re also a delicious on top of salads, in homemade granola and trail mix, and even sprinkled on a scoop of ice cream. Plus, since they’re only pumpkin seeds and sea salt, they’re an ideal snack for those who eschew gluten, dairy, eggs, nuts and pretty much anything else people are allergic to.
