Frequently Asked Questions

Can these pumpkin seeds be sprouted in the 3D seed sprouter?

No. Because these seeds have been hulled and gently crushed in our workshop, their life spark has been opened and they can no longer sprout. For your Apothecary Sprouter, please use our Sprouting Lentils instead. These crushed pumpkin seeds are processed for direct, dry consumption.

Is this product safe for my terrarium's cleanup crew?

Absolutely! The fine, crushed texture makes it a premier feast for springtails and mancae (baby isopods) that lack the strength to break through whole shells. Furthermore, its digestive safeguarding action is completely gentle, targeted, and safe for your bioactive soil ecosystem.
