Pumpkin seeds
From Our fields to Your use
Welcome to the fascinating world of GWS pumpkin seeds! These treasures of nature are a real treat that grow right under our noses, in the fields of Poland. They hide immense power and extraordinary nutritional value.
The Grown Without Shell (or GWS for short) pumpkin seeds are a unique variety that develops without the characteristic hard shell. This means you can enjoy their flavor without having to break through the hard barrier. This makes them accessible and digestible, ready for you to explore the flavors without any fuss.
The process of growing GWS pumpkin seeds in Polish fields is a harmony of nature, farmers’ expertise and concern for quality. We begin our story in the Polish field, where this extraordinary process is initiated.
Spring in Poland opens the door to the cultivation of pumpkin seeds. This is the time when farmers start to prepare the soil, carefully priming it to receive the seeds. Sowing is a crucial step, and choosing the right date and seed for sowing is of paramount importance. We obtain sowing material from the reliable suppliers from Austria and then supply them to farmers in our region. Genuine Styrian type pumpkin seeds are gently placed in the ground and cared for to allow them to germinate and thrive.
As autumn arrives, the hulless pumpkin plants begin to ripen. This is the magical moment when the seeds begin to form inside the fruit. In Poland, autumn is harvest time. We provide harvesting services for contracted farmers by using special machines, Ozkan harvesters, which precisely separate the pumpkin seeds from the flesh. This is a complex process that requires accuracy, knowledge and specialized equipment.
After harvesting, the GWS pumpkin seeds go through a drying process on a floor dryer we built ourselves. This stage is designed to remove excess moisture and maintain their quality. This makes the seeds durable and safe from mould.
We then transport the dried pumpkin seeds to a processing line set up specifically for cleaning pumpkin seeds. Our line cleans, polishes, descales, removes metals and optically separates every pumpkin seed obtained from ours and our neighboring farmers’ fields.
It is worth noting that the whole process of growing Styrian pumpkin seeds in Polish fields is based on a sustainable approach to agriculture. Farmers take care of the soil, the environment and the welfare of the plants in accordance with the recommendations and laws of the European Union, which makes it possible to obtain seeds of the highest quality.
