You've inspired me though, I think I'll have to give it a try next year (it's probably too late this year where I live). Your little red tomato peeking in the one picture looks so yummy too :) Fresh tomatoes right out of the garden are one of my faves!Sarahhttp://www.backyardchickenkeeping.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-106846225402469312012-08-22T14:28:29.566-07:002012-08-22T14:28:29.566-07:00Vaya, lo siento mucho - so far, we haven't gro...Vaya, lo siento mucho - so far, we haven't grown anything at all in Spain, so have no experience in preparing pipas. I think they are toasted or lightly fried and then sprinkled with salt. What I am an expert in is eating pipas in true Spanish style, gently breaking open the pointy end of the seed shell, extracting the seed with my tongue and spitting out the husk onto the floor. Takes a little practice but that bit I can do!

I would imagine that you might have to soak them in extra salty water and then toast them, just like pepitas.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115264225892097974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-6392603442013222142012-08-22T09:15:50.760-07:002012-08-22T09:15:50.760-07:00Cool!

They grow the shorter ones and let the entire field dry up in the sun. I wonder how many bags of sunflower seeds they can get from one little field? Have fun with yours. :-)Tami @ Lemon Tree Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655631671353374029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-91129616578702333002012-08-22T05:23:46.883-07:002012-08-22T05:23:46.883-07:00Wow, those are huge!
