To get the most out of watermelon seeds, they should be:
- Sprouted or roasted: This enhances their taste and bioavailability.
- Shelled: Though edible, the outer shell is tough — removing it makes digestion easier.
- Ground: You can grind them into a powder and add to smoothies, yogurt, or baked goods.
Here’s how to roast them:
- Rinse and dry the seeds.
- Toss with a bit of olive oil and sea salt.
- Roast at 325°F (160°C) for 15–20 minutes.
