What You Should Know

DAVID Pumpkin Seeds, Roasted & Salted is a small-bag, grab-and-go snack you’d find on the supermarket shelf in the nuts & seeds or snack aisle, usually near roasted peanuts, mixed nuts, sunflower seeds and trail mix. Packaged in a single-serving 2.25 oz bag, the product leans on a long-standing American seed-snacking tradition and the DAVID brand’s heritage (since 1926) to signal reliability and familiarity. Shoppers reach for it on errands, road trips, game days, or when assembling a quick hiking or office snack — it fits moments that call for portability and a crunchy, savory bite. The label leans into simple health cues: “gluten free,” “keto friendly,” “good source of protein, iron and zinc,” and “no artificial flavors or colors,” creating a wholesome, natural halo without organic certification. There’s no kid-focused cartooning or bright candy marketing; the angle is practical, heritage-driven, and slightly health-conscious, appealing to adults who want a protein-forward, low-carb snack. Processing is straightforward: pumpkin seeds are roasted and salted and sealed in a bag — a minimal-to-moderate level of processing to enhance flavor and shelf life. Sensory-wise the seeds deliver a dry-roasted crunch with a pronounced salty finish and a nutty, earthy pumpkin-seed flavor; the ritual is tactile — open the bag, shake to reach the last seeds, or sprinkle them on salads and yogurt. High sodium is a notable nutritional trait, so they’re best as an occasional snack or seasoning boost rather than an everyday high-sodium choice.
