  1. need more information,
    Are these the whole seeds with hull? or just the kernels? are they raw? or roasted?
    when adding to the pan are they
    fried in added oil? or just heated and toasted.
    thanks.

    • Hi, rhino! We use the raw kernels and we simply heat/fry them for 2-3 minutes. No added oil. Good luck! 🎈
