Our Review Factors
What were we looking for in the salted pumpkin seeds from Tong Garden?
Crisp, fresh seeds with a balanced salt seasoning is what we expected.
1. Flavor
Pumpkin seeds are known to have a fresh nutty taste. We gauged the freshness and how well-rounded the salt seasoning was. Was this balanced or on the higher side?
2. Texture
Nuts and seeds have a natural ‘bite’ to them. Roasting further enhances their crispness. This crispness is also an indicator of how fresh the seeds are.
3. Nutrition Quotient
Under this parameter, we checked the ingredients used and the caloric values. Clean, nutrient-dense ingredients? Compared to unsalted pumpkin seeds, is the variation in calorie content marginal or too high?
4. Other Parameters
Other non-tasting parameters like the packaging, price, and shelf life were recorded here.

Main Ingredients
Pumpkin seeds kernels and iodized salt.
The ingredient list is 100% clean.
Caloric Comparison
A 30-gram pack of Tong Garden Salted Pumpkin seeds offers 180 Kcal with 13 grams of fat, 4 grams of carbohydrates, and 11 grams of protein.
A quarter cup (30 grams) of pumpkin seeds have similar caloric values, 180 Kcal and 16 grams of fats, 3 grams of carbohydrates, and 10 grams of protein.
Taste & Texture
Pumpkin seeds are typically green with a white husk. They are quite flat with an asymmetric oval shape. Despite the pack claiming these are ‘super quality’, the seeds did not have a uniform appearance in terms of shape, size, and color.
Similarly, the texture was inconsistent. While some had a bold crunch, others had a relatively softer bite. That said, the seeds weren’t soggy.
These seeds have been roasted and seasoned with salt. The bold nutty flavor is an indicator of how well roasted these seeds are. The salt seasoning is adequate, not overpowering, just balanced. The seeds taste fresh with no undesirable aftertaste.
Another commendable point is the ingredient list, no additives or preservatives have been used.
- The packaging is fairly premium.
- These are economically priced.
- The flavor was spot-on.
- Clean ingredients + remarkable nutrient profile.
- The texture is inconsistent, some have a bold crunch, others are milder.
