About
Flat, oval edible squash seeds that pack loosely, weighing about 4.4 ounces (125 g) per cup.
With a bulk density of about 33 pounds per cubic foot (0.53 g/mL), pumpkin seeds are relatively lightweight compared to many other dry pantry foods. Their flat, oval shape leaves small air spaces between kernels when poured into a container. Because of these gaps, they take up more room per ounce than compact staples like white rice, but settle much more densely than rolled oats or popcorn.
From Wikipedia
A pumpkin seed, also known as a pepita, is the edible seed of a pumpkin or certain other cultivars of squash. The seeds are typically flat and oval with two axes of symmetry, have a white outer husk, and are light green after the husk is removed.
