leading in quality
pumpkin seeds
State-of-the-art technology puts us ahead
The pumpkin seeds are accurately sorted by size, weight, colour and density on a high-tech sorting line. This ensures that all foreign bodies are removed and enables pumpkin seeds to be separated into different qualities.
As leaders in the fields of technology and quality we guarantee a purity level of 99.99%; the pumpkin seeds are 100% traceable. Every seed that leaves our premises and is intended for direct consumption – whether natural, roasted and salted, chopped or ground – is gently treated to reduce microbial contamination. This enables us to ensure the highest level of product safety.

The untreated oil is not filtered; the particles that make it cloudy settle naturally when the oil is left to rest.
