Best way to dry/store pumpkin seeds?

[Shine]

Living in New England, this Fall season is loaded with pumpkins. I always roasted my seeds but NOW being raw, I am looking for the best way to dry them/dehydrate them and then store. Does anyone have experience?

I freeze my nuts, seeds, and dates.

The hard part is going to be dehulling them. It might not be worth the trouble. Those shells are pretty hard to chew on, even when they're toasty brown.

...no, I have no experience with this...

I just had a pumpkin smoothie yesterday, and left the seeds + cantaloupe seeds out overnight for consumption today. I gave the seeds a few hour soak (don't know if that accounted for anything), gave them a quite failboat run through my little mini food processor, and eventually just ended up blending them together with peaches and maca powder to make a dopetastic yogurt. Because of the tough shells theres a little bit of shardiness in the yogurt so it takes a little more chew action than your typical yogurt (you Vitamixers might not have this problem). But she's an enjoyable yogurt all the same.

Thank you for your responses! I hadn't thought about the hull.... I'll try it out and see how it all goes!

i wonder if dehydrating would make it easier to get the hulls off? they would have to be dried totally to store them anyhow i would think.
