Quebec pumpkin seeds grown in regenerative agriculture

Quebec produces pumpkins but why is it still very difficult to find local pumpkin seeds?

The answer is that the varieties grown here for Halloween decorations or for making pies are not the same varieties that produce nice, large edible seeds.

Since the demand for pumpkin seeds is increasing here, several producers in the province have decided to embark on the adventure. They have selected European pumpkin varieties, with naked grain, and are gradually acclimatizing them to our climate. One of the major challenges remains the presence of an insect, which is not very present in Europe but which proliferates here and ravages seed pumpkin crops.

For many, the solution would be to use chemical pesticides. But the vision of our partner, La ferme de l'Odyssée, is on the contrary to develop a regenerative agriculture method. Thus, not only is pest control done without using toxic products, but this method helps preserve and even enrich the soil.

Rather than fighting against nature, the Odyssey farm works with the forces of nature. For the greatest happiness of our environment, our food sovereignty and our health.

Very good source of fiber, magnesium, zinc, vitamins B and E.

Use without moderation raw, roasted in the oven or mixed, in pesto, in your salads, snacks, smoothies and more.
