Gerbs: Crafting Healthy, Allergy-Friendly Foods Our Story: Nurturing a Passion for Sharing Nutritious Snacks

Our parents always encouraged all-natural, made-from-scratch cooking, and this ethos has been the foundation of our family business, Gerbs. In 2003, when we created our delicious pumpkin seeds for a Halloween party, they were an instant hit with our friends. Witnessing their enthusiasm for our healthy snack was the moment that sparked the birth of Gerbs.

Product Spotlight: Raw Pumpkin Seed Kernels

Gerbs Raw Pumpkin Seed Kernels are naturally gluten-free, GMO-free, and contain all essential amino acids, making them a complete protein source. These versatile seeds can be scattered over salads, granola, mixed with applesauce or yogurt, or added to baked goods.

Packed with Nutritional Benefits

Pumpkin seeds are an incredible source of nutrition, boasting high levels of iron, magnesium, and protein. They are also rich in B vitamins and have an alkalizing effect on the body, helping to counteract acidity. Pumpkin seeds are even a source of anxiety-relieving tryptophan, an essential amino acid that helps improve serotonin levels.

Beyond Nutrition: Promoting Overall Wellbeing

Pumpkin seeds can help control cholesterol levels, thanks to their high content of plant-based phytosterols. They also contain zinc and other antioxidants that can help reduce the risk of prostate disease. Additionally, the tryptophan in pumpkin seeds can aid in the production of serotonin, helping to regulate mood, sleep, and appetite.

Proper Storage for Freshness

Gerbs recommends storing our raw pumpkin seed kernels in an airtight, dark container in a cool, dark environment, away from direct sunlight and heat. For prolonged storage, the seeds can be placed in the refrigerator or even frozen.
