Herblo Naturals pumpkin seeds — also called pepitas seeds or pumpkin kernels — are 100% raw, unroasted, and unsalted seeds sourced and packed with zero additives. These are the same kaddu seeds used in traditional Pakistani and South Asian households for generations, now available in premium quality straight to your door.
Pumpkin seeds — known as کدو کے بیج (kaddu ke beej) in Urdu — have quietly been part of Pakistani households for generations. Our grandmothers would dry and snack on them, add them to homemade chutneys, or stir them into desi ghee for a nutrient boost. Today, health-conscious Pakistanis are rediscovering these unroasted pumpkin seeds as a superfood for daily use — sprinkling them over dahi, blending into smoothies, or simply eating a handful as a mid-day snack instead of biscuits or chips. Small habit, big impact.
Whether you are eating them as a snack, adding them to your morning smoothie, sprinkling them over salads, or using them in cooking, our kaddu ke beej deliver maximum nutrition in every handful.
According to research published by the National Institutes of Health, pumpkin seeds are among the most nutrient-dense edible seeds available.

Health Benefits
Our raw kaddu ke beej are one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can add to your diet. Here is what the research says:
1. Weight loss & metabolism
High in protein and dietary fibre, pepital seeds or kaddu ki beej keep you feeling full for longer and help reduce overall calorie intake. They are also keto-friendly — low in net carbs, high in healthy fats and protein.
2. Prostate & men’s health
Studies show that the phytosterols and zinc in Kaddu seeds help support prostate health and may help reduce an enlarged prostate. These seeds are among the most recommended natural foods for men over 40.
3. Safe during pregnancy
Pumpkin kernels are a rich source of folate, iron, zinc, and magnesium — all critical nutrients during pregnancy. They also provide healthy fats needed for foetal brain development.
4. Heart & blood sugar health
The magnesium in these seeds helps regulate blood pressure. Their low glycaemic load and high fibre content also make them beneficial for people managing diabetes or blood sugar levels.
5. Better sleep & reduced anxiety
These seeds contain tryptophan, an amino acid the body converts to serotonin and melatonin — the hormones that regulate mood and sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these the same as pepitas seeds or pumpkin kernels?
Yes. Pumpkin seeds, pepitas seeds, and pumpkin kernels all refer to the same product — the edible seed of the pumpkin fruit (Cucurbita pepo). Our seeds are the hull-less / shell-less variety, sometimes called oilseed pumpkin seeds, which are the most nutritionally dense form.
Can I eat raw these seeds directly?
Absolutely. Our seeds are 100% raw and ready to eat straight from the bag. You can also soak them overnight in water to improve digestibility, or lightly toast them yourself at home if you prefer a crunchier texture.
What is the right amount to eat per day?
A serving of 28g (approximately one small handful or about 85 seeds) per day is the standard recommended amount for adults. You can eat more, but start with one handful daily and build up.
How should I store pumpkin seeds?
Keep in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Once opened, store in an airtight container or refrigerate to extend freshness. Properly stored, they last up to 12 months.
