Pumpkin seeds are the seeds of fruit pumpkins. After drying and frying, they can be eaten. Generally speaking, fried pumpkin seeds can also be preserved for a long time, so if they are stored for one year, they can continue to be eaten if there is no smell or deterioration.

2 How to keep the pumpkin seeds that can't be eaten sealed? Nuts such as pumpkin seeds are easy to get wet, so it is best to store the pumpkin seeds in a dry place and seal them, such as in sealed cans and sealed bags, so as to prevent the pumpkin seeds from getting wet and insects from deteriorating.

Frozen pumpkin seeds that can't be eaten can also be stored in the refrigerator. Freezing can also prevent bacteria from growing, but frozen melon seeds need to be thawed before they can be eaten.

3 How does the pumpkin seed become brittle when it is wet? If the pumpkin seed is baked in the oven, it can be stored in the oven and baked, and the water in the pumpkin seed will be evaporated by the high temperature of the oven, and then the pumpkin seed will become dry and crisp.

Stir-fry Another way to make pumpkin seeds brittle is stir-fry. Stir-fry is also to heat pumpkin seeds twice and evaporate water during the stir-fry. However, it is difficult to control the temperature and time of stir-fry, so be careful not to fry them.

4 How long is the shelf life of pumpkin seeds? Raw pumpkin seeds are three months, and cooked pumpkin seeds are about six months.

Raw pumpkin seeds are pumpkin seeds that have not been fried, generally containing more water, so the storage time will be relatively short, but if the raw pumpkin seeds are well sealed and preserved, they can also be preserved for a long time, usually more than three months.

The cooked pumpkin seeds are fried, and some of the water is evaporated, so they will be more resistant to storage. However, the cooked pumpkin seeds are fragrant and easy to attract insects, but they can be stored for more than six months after being sealed. However, if they are not sealed, the cooked pumpkin seeds are prone to moisture, insects and deterioration.
