Don't throw away the edible seeds from your pumpkin – you can roast them for a healthy, crunchy snack. A pumpkin seed consists of two edible parts: a cream-coloured shell and an olive-green kernel. Roasting the whole seed is the best way to reap its nutritional benefits. They taste delicious and are easy to eat if they're correctly toasted and small to medium in size. Follow this simple guide, and you're in for a treat.
