Dennie, No problem
getting shelled pumpkin seeds in Israel, even in supermarkets, though the toasted unshelled ones are much more commonly found - referred to as «white seeds», as opposed to «black seeds» (sunflower seeds).
No, but if you eat 1/2 a cup of
shelled raw
pumpkin seeds you will
get more than you need and their very nutritional... also a natural way of
getting it... Not synthetic like in the vitamin supplements....
