Pumpkin seed oil: Green Gold | Culinary Treasures of the Earth

[@tanyawales5445]

You can grow the pumpkin 'Lady Godiva' that has hull less seeds. Each plant can yield a total of 12 - 15 pumpkins at a weight of 5 - 10 lbs. each with up to 1 lb. of seeds apiece. Ferry-Morse carries these seeds and they cost $1.96/packet. Each ounce of seeds is 163 calories and 8 grams of protein. As am American I am eager to grow this plant which was developed from our native pumpkin. The pumpkins are attractive with light yellow skins striped with green and orange. Looking at the elder members of the Schalk farmers featured in this documentary I am struck by how youthful their skin looks. They must eat their product - oil and seed meal.
