Couple of days back, I wrote a post on my pumpkin seeds experiment and some of its valuable nutrients, you can check it out here!


The seeds are ready!!! Yesss!!!

After two days of direct sunlight, the beauties are ready to be enjoyed.

From my point of view...the experiment was a success, I'm so happy!!!
😁😁😁

Let me share how the progress went on the last two days!

Day 1

This is the first moment of direct sunlight for the slimy seeds - please note that i did not wash nor boil them.

I was looking for something more natural possible!

Only 2 hours later...

Point to be noted, we are in summer in Mauritius and the sun is at its peak.

The slimy texture started to dry up in 2 hours or so.

End of day 1

In total, they stayed approximately 6 hours in the sunlight.

They were semi dry at the end of the day.

Day 2

I took out the paper towel beneath and again they went for 6 full hours of direct sunlight!

You simply have to turn them around each hour so that they dry up evenly.

Conclusion

Amazing experiment indeed.

The taste is just different from stores bought one...the ones I prepared is much more tasty by miles!

Shelling...

Yes it is time consuming to shell all the seeds at one go...

My tips is to shell only what you gonna consume for the day.
Don’t shell them all...You'll get bored!
