pumpkinseeds
Gourd's edible innards
Pumpkinseeds are the flat, oval seeds found inside pumpkins, typically eaten roasted and salted as a snack.
They're also sold hulled as pepitas, common in Mexican cuisine.
A pumpkinseed is also a small, brightly colored North American sunfish with an orange-spotted belly, named for its shape.
