About Courge seeds

Courge seeds are seeds from squash or gourd plants, with the French category name indicating a broad source rather than a particular species. They may be sold or used as whole seeds, but the catalogue does not say whether they are shelled, roasted, salted, or otherwise prepared.

They may be eaten as a snack or used as a food ingredient. Whole seeds are firm and can have a mild, nutty flavour, while texture and flavour change with roasting and seasoning. The edible portion and processing are not specified.
