Badia Pepitas Pumpkin Seeds 2 oz

Pepitas are the merienda you grab between lunch and dinner — a small handful straight from the bag, no preparation, no fuss. Badia packs hulled green pumpkin seeds in a 2 oz size that fits in a purse, a desk drawer, or a kid's lunchbox.

These are raw pepitas with a clean, nutty, slightly creamy flavor. Toast them briefly in a dry pan with a pinch of salt and they bloom into something deeper and more toasted.

Common Uses: eaten straight as a snack, sprinkled over salads and sopas, blended into green mole, toasted as a garnish for arroz con pollo or roasted squash, folded into granola and trail mixes.

Cultural Context: Pepitas cross every Latin kitchen — a staple of Mexican mole verde, a Caribbean snack-bowl regular, and a familiar sight at the corner bodega next to the chicharrones and plátano chips. For Latin households, pepitas live in the merienda category alongside maní and semillas de girasol: small, salty, satisfying, and meant to hold you over.

Pairs With: dried cranberries, raisins, almonds, sea salt, lime and chili powder, dark chocolate, queso fresco salads.

Vegan, gluten-free, kosher. Ships nationwide as part of a Latin pantry restock or care package.
