Question:
Are they safe to eat?

I am 2 monthes out of my open rny and I love pumpkin seeds- roasted. Not store bought but home made. Are they safe to eat? The only posting I saw was from someone who shelled them but I eat them as is.    — Jill M. (posted on October 25, 2000)

If you feel confident that you can chew them enough, then I would say yes. Having had stuff stuck in my tummy though, and enduring cramps, I'd be inclined to shell them first. Happy Halloween!

I am 8 months post-op, and I have eaten many kinds of nuts and seeds and have not had a problem. I eat pumpkin seeds with the shell, but I make sure to chew them thoroughly. In fact, I am planning on roasting some tonight! Good Luck,
