Pumpkins - is there a way

[Iluvfrenchquarter]

to tell which ones have lots of seeds?

The main reason we buy pumpkins is to roast the seeds! Except for right before Halloween, when we carve them.

Anyway, it is impossible to tell, as far as I know, which pumpkins have a lot of seeds and which ones don't. I've bought small pumpkins with so many seeds they were almost overflowing when I opened them. I've also bought large pumpkins with so few seeds they wouldn't fill my big toe!

So any help would be greatly appreciated!

PS. I've also googled this and only been able to find answers that say the larger the pumpkin, the more the seeds. Which I have been found to be not true.

I am definately interested in this. I have a family full of pumpkin seed addicts and I rarely get pumpkins with lots of nice big seeds.

Inquiring minds want to know! Bump!

Do you eat the entire seed or do you crack it open and eat only the inside.

Ooohhh, the whole thing, you?

Then I spend 2 days in the bathroom. Great natural laxative!

My family has been trying to figure this out too. The only thing we can come up with is it seems like the SMALLER the pumpkin....the more seeds.
