1. Don’t know, have never done it–usually just buy them raw alredy out of the hull at the health food store.

2. Whole lasts longer.

3. If it is cool outside, it wouldn’t matter if it was at your house or the pumpkin patch. Just watch for signs of age like you would on any vegetable; no soft spots or mold.

4. Set in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation. (attic? garage?) You can also hang them like they do flower bunches to dry from rafters. They will also dry out in the sun, but again, it needs to be cool dry weather or they will mold.

Wow I haven’t had pumkin seeds in ages, but I love them!! I think I am going to have to eat some this year! I know we used to put them in the toaster oven but it has been so long ago since my mom made any I can’t remember how she did it.

1. I wash them, toss in a tiny bit of oil, seasoning of your choice (garlic, seasoning salt) and spread on a cookie sheet – cook at 350 until golden – check often and shake pan. Try one and see if they are crunchy enough. I love roasted pumpkin seeds.

2. They definitely last longer whole – we only carve ours a couple days before Halloween – they sit whole ont he steps until then.

3. Don’t know this one – but don’t eat a carved pumpkin.

4. again Sorry don’t know.
