Eating squash seeds is addictive

I don't think I've ever eaten squash seeds, but they seem to have the same effect as eating peanuts, right. Once you started eating one, then you just eat more and more until they are gone. When the peanuts I'm eating come in large packages, I'd just pour a small amount in a container to snack on and stop when it's gone there.

Yup I agree. Its kinda addictive once you start eating one you could end up eating a handful. Squash seeds look like watermelon seeds except the shell have whitish color instead of black. Its fun removing the shell and eating the soft inner layer like the watermelon seeds. I also start liking to eat pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds.

Wow thats really interesting I have never heard of anyone eating squash or watermelon seeds. I have eaten peanuts and sunflower seeds but never squash or watermelon. I know lots of people right now have been eating roasted pumpkin seeds. Those are something I have never tried either. I dried out some pumpkin seeds to plant next spring though.

Lade, eating squash seeds is very addictive and on every special occasion, my aunts always asking me to buy them. I do like to eat when i am free and have time to sit down chatting and eating them with my mother, sisters and aunts. When my grandmother was still young, she enjoy eating them a lot. Nowadays, she can't eat anymore since her fake teeth unable to help her bite those squash seeds. Since from a few years ago, i discovered that the price of squash seeds had gone up in my area here. How about your area?

Have never heard about squash seed lol; while i was in your country i saw my host eating fried water melon seeds and cucumber seeds, i too tasted it was good; i like peanut seeds fried and salted lol..

We also eat fried corn here in Mexico. But ive never eat the others.

I can't honesty say that I've ever eaten squash seeds, however I do eat a lot of nuts, I take a bag of mixed nuts to the gym with me and after a strenuous work out, I eat the nuts as they have good protein value to feed my muscles plus I get very hungry after working out for 90 minutes. I like cashew nuts, walnuts and hazelnuts, they do get moreish though, you can't just have a few. I heard that pumpkin seeds are supposed to be good for you too.

here in North America, i enjoy eating sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds which are both pretty addicting too. they come roasted and have salt on them.

Ohhhhh . . . yesterday I roasted some kabocha seeds!! My daughter's class had samples of various squash . . . so I bought the one she liked and we had it for dinner the other night. Well, I finally got around to roasting the seeds - I put olive oil, garlic power, chili powder and some paprika and sea salt. It was yummy that even my little son liked it!! But it wasn't a whole lot of seeds - so hopefully we'll be making more! Oh - and it was too messy - we ate the shell and all - ha ha!!!

Yes, very much.. My favorite seeds are watermelon seeds, i think they are the most delicious. It hurts after a while though, since i use my mouth t open it and it is very salty..

I agree with you. It's quite addictive. I also enjoy eating squash seeds not so much on watermelon seeds. It's easy to break. Is it the right term? LOL.

Yes! I agree that eating squash seeds is really addictive! And I really love eating squash seeds alot! :)

When i bake (whole wheat)bread I always place squash seeds in there. It costs me a lot of time to peel them. And I have to peel them in my own room because without any exception, all my Pinoy friends ate them! It went so far that I put the seeds in an air tight box, hidden very well. LOL

I've never heard of eating squash seeds let alone watermelon seeds. I do however on occasion enjoy pumpkin seeds which is a squash obviously so I'm guessing they're somewhat similar if not the same as the ones you eat. Every Halloween I enjoy carving the pumpkin and baking the seeds myself.

It is really addicting. That I also experienced the same when we bought a kilo of that food. We can't stop eating the moment we open the pack. Until we noticed that the food was nearly finished.

The thing with these seeds, they are very delicious but also fun to eat.. We still have to work in order to eat what is inside. And it is had to get full with these food, so we eat and eat until we do feel full.

I like squash seeds too just as I enjoy cashew nuts, peanuts and fried corn. And you are right, its addicting as once you get started you can't seem to stop. Thanks for this discussion,as we are planning to go to Divisoria next week and I'll include this in our "to buy list". This is very much cheaper there if purchased by the kilo compared to its price in supermarkets.

Hahaha! You said it right! It can be addictive especially if you have friends around or just simply in front of the tv. I guess our hands and mouth just needs to do something and not be left with nothing to do always.

I can relate with your situation. Ever since I am young, I always buy squash seeds in the sari-sari store. I buy a lot because I am also addicted to it though I am having a hard time opening the seeds. I has been a part of my childhood. Up until now, still eat it.

Eat some little thing addictive. I used to in school and my classmates like to eat a biscuit, that time I crazy.Suddenly bought a large bag that kind of cookies, I and my classmates that once gave it ate vexed. Later any further not eat.
