You should be able tp find these in any health food store in Geneva or neighbouring France.
Which area of Geneva do you live in?

I actually live in France, not far from Bellegarde. But none of the stores there have them. I work near the Palais, however.

..oh forgot to say.. they will be packaged as 'graines de courge'
Thank you. I can get them online if necessary, but they're shipped from the UK, so it's rather pricy. So if you do find them in Ferney, I'd love to know, as that's a pretty short bus trip out.

I'm pretty sure already you can get them there as I used to shop there a lot when i lived over that side of town and I know I have bought some there in the past. They are green in colour
Will look also in the other places when shopping, as stated above, re- shelled ones

Yes, exactly, the green pepitas. Thank you again.
You can find them at All COOP stores. I was surprised to find them even at a small COOP market in Village meyrin. Its either in the dried fruit and nut section, not snack section.
I have a 300square meter garden, grow about 5 differnent types of squashes/pumpkins. Potimarron, Muscade provencial, butternut, spagetti squash, Delicata squash, accorn squash. All very easy to grow in Geneva. My absolut favorite is Delicata and Butternut. Absolutly amazing flavors. Delicata is super sweet if baked in the oven. Butternut is sweet and nutty if baked in oven.
I always try to save some seeds for next years plantings, from the best fruits that I got. I ask neighbors also for seeds if i find they are very successful with the plants and are unique squashes.
What I find questioning, is how do companies shell the pumpkins seeds, how they can industrilaize the process to make a profit, as I find by hand its very difficult without breaking the 'nut meat' in the seed.
