Pumpkin Seeds at Crema House in Ottawa are roasted pumpkin seeds in the shell, lightly salted, from our nuts and dried fruit counter. In Farsi they are tokhmeh kadoo, and like watermelon and sunflower seeds they are part of the Persian habit of cracking seeds over tea and conversation. The shell is split between the teeth and the flat green kernel inside is eaten; it is a slow snack that lasts an evening. They are savoury and crunchy, made without dairy or egg, so vegan, and packed in a kitchen that handles nuts. A pack is a snack for one or a bowl for a film night. They keep for weeks sealed. Order for pickup on Clyde Avenue, and drink a glass of Persian Tea with them.
