Ayote seeds, also known as pepitas or pipianes, are the edible seeds of the squash, which is a variety of squash (Cucurbita pepo) native to Central and North America. These seeds are flat, oval and have a smooth, whitish shell.

Pumpkin seeds are extracted from the inside of the pumpkin and can be consumed raw or after being roasted. They have a mild and slightly sweet flavor and are very nutritious. They are rich in protein, healthy fats, fiber, B vitamins, magnesium, zinc and other essential nutrients.

In cooking, roasted squash seeds are commonly used as a snack or as an ingredient in various recipes. They can be sprinkled on salads, soups, stews, or can also be part of trail mixes. Additionally, in many regions of Latin America, squash seeds are used to make sauces and pestos, such as pepián, a famous thick, rich sauce native to Guatemala.

Pumpkin seeds are prized for both their flavor and nutritional value and have been used in the traditional cuisine of various cultures for centuries.
