pumpkin seed
Squash plant embryo
A pumpkin seed is the edible seed found inside a pumpkin, typically flat, oval, and encased in a white hull.
Roasted pumpkin seeds are a common snack, especially around Halloween when pumpkins are carved.
The hulled green kernels, called pepitas, appear in Mexican cuisine and health foods.
A pumpkin seed is also a small, flat-bottomed sailboat with a similar shape.
