Pumpkin Seed (Curcubita pepo)

Latin Name: Curcubita pepo
Common Names: Pumpkin Seed

Starwest Botanicals is pleased to bring you the highest quality Pumpkin Seed powder. Pumpkin seed, which comes from the plant called Cucurbita maxima in Latin, is found inside the cavity of the pumpkin's fruit. Pumpkins grow on annual vines that can become quite long, up to over fifteen feet in length. The plant produces flowers during the summer months, which eventually turn into the pumpkins. The seeds ripen inside the fruit in late summer to early fall.
