Question: are you supposed to eat the whole pumpkin seed?
Answer: Pumpkin seeds are small, green seeds that are surrounded by a yellowish-white shell. If you carve open a whole pumpkin, you'll find them surrounded by orange, stringy flesh. Many people scoop out the whole seeds and roast them — shell and all — as a snack. ... Even so, pumpkin seed shells are safe for most people to eat.
