pepita de calabaza molida

Semillas desarrolladas por completo de diversas variedades de calabaza que se recolectan del centro del fruto maduro y se dejan secar al sol. Existen semillas de varios tamaños, dependiendo de la variedad; su consumo, sea con cáscara o sin ella, data de la época prehispánica.

Con la pepita se elaboran moles, pipianes y dulces. Son tan importantes en la cocina mexicana, que muchas especies de calabaza se cultivan sólo por las pepitas, aunque esto no significa que el fruto no se aproveche.
