Watermelon seed buying guide (what to specify)
For a clean, accurate quote, it helps to specify whole vs. hulled, your intended application, and any requirements for size, roast, or cleanliness. Watermelon seeds can be supplied in different programs depending on your usage.
Key RFQ inputs
- Format: whole (in-shell) or hulled kernels
- Processing: raw/natural, roasted, salted, or seasoned (if needed)
- Size/grade: size range guidance or sieve distribution (for granules/meal)
- Cleanliness: foreign material tolerance aligned to your process
- Moisture target: impacts crunch and shelf stability
- Labeling: organic/kosher requirements (if applicable)
- Packaging: bag size, case pack, pallet configuration if needed
If you’re unsure whether you need whole or hulled seeds, tell us where the seed is used (topping vs. snack vs. inclusion) and we’ll recommend a starting spec.
