Bilateral White Melon Seeds

Bilateral White Melon Seeds

　　These seeds closely resemble pumpkin seeds in shape, but they have thinner shells and plump kernels. Along their oval edges, there are two prominent ridges. They are also called "large seeds" to distinguish them from sunflower seeds due to their full, robust grains. Bilateral white melon seeds are rich in nutrients—not only a delicious treat but also valued for their high medicinal properties. They can help with diuresis and bowel movement, nourish yin and kidney, lower blood pressure, and invigorate qi and blood. These seeds can be roasted or pressed for oil. They are a renowned specialty product of Jinchuan County.
