Pumpkin Seeds Price in Pakistan: 2026 Rate Guide
Pumpkin seeds — Kaddu ke Beej (کدو کے بیج) — price in Pakistan for 2026 ranges from around Rs. 550 for 250g to Rs. 1,900–3,000 for 1kg, with loose, ungraded seeds at local markets sometimes going as low as Rs. 150–170 per 100g. It’s also the most-searched seed price query in the country right now, which means it’s also the category with the most low-effort listings competing for your attention — and the widest gap between what looks like a deal and what actually is one.
Pumpkin Seeds Price by Pack Size
| Pack Size | Typical Market Range (PKR) | What You’re Likely Getting |
|---|---|---|
| 100g (loose, local market) | Rs. 150 – 250 | Ungraded — mixed sizes, some broken pieces, husk not fully removed |
| 250g | Rs. 550 – 900 | Sealed pouch, sortex-cleaned at the higher end |
| 500g | Rs. 1,000 – 1,200 | Standard retail pack, most brands cluster tightly here |
| 1kg | Rs. 1,900 – 3,000 | Local grade at the low end, AA-grade imported at the high end |
The jump from 500g to 1kg pricing isn’t always a clean doubling — some brands price the 1kg pack more efficiently per gram (buying in bulk saves you money), while others barely discount it at all, effectively penalizing you for buying more. Worth doing the per-100g math yourself before assuming the bigger pack is the better deal.
Why Pumpkin Seed Prices Vary So Much
- Sortex cleaning: a sortex machine removes broken seeds, husk, discoloured pieces, and foreign matter. Ungraded seeds are cheaper per kilo, but a real portion of that weight is waste you’ll pick out and throw away yourself.
- AA-grade imported vs. local: imported AA-grade pumpkin seeds are larger, more uniform in size and color, and more consistent batch-to-batch. Local seeds are perfectly edible but vary more in size and cleanliness.
- Raw vs. roasted: roasted, salted pumpkin seeds (a common snack format) cost more per kilo than raw — and roasting is frequently done in reused or low-quality oil at the cheaper end of the market, which raw seeds sidestep entirely.
- Shelled vs. in-shell: pepitas (the green, hull-less kernel) cost more than pumpkin seeds still in their white husk, for the same reason as sunflower — you’re paying for edible weight only.
- Packaging: a resealable, airtight pouch costs more to produce than a stapled poly bag, but it’s the difference between seeds staying crisp for months and going stale or slightly rancid within weeks — pumpkin seeds have a meaningful fat content and are not immune to oxidation.
How to Check Quality Before You Buy
- Size and color consistency. AA-grade seeds are uniformly sized and a consistent pale green-white. A bag with wildly different seed sizes and a lot of yellowed or brownish pieces is lower grade, regardless of what the listing calls it.
- Check the bottom of the pack for dust and broken shells. A well-sortexed batch has very little debris settled at the bottom. A lot of fine dust and shell fragments means poor cleaning.
- Smell test. Fresh raw pumpkin seeds are nearly odorless with a faint nutty smell. Any sharp, oily, or slightly sour smell means the fat content has started to turn.
- Ask if it’s raw or roasted — and in what oil, if roasted. Sellers offering roasted pumpkin seeds at unusually low prices are frequently using cheap, reused frying oil rather than a fresh oil — this doesn’t always show up in a quick smell test at purchase but affects the product over its shelf life.

FAQs: Pumpkin Seeds Price in Pakistan
What is the price of pumpkin seeds 1kg in Pakistan?
1kg pumpkin seeds typically cost Rs. 1,900–3,000, depending on whether they’re sortex-cleaned, AA-grade imported, or local-grade, and whether they’re raw or roasted.
What is the price of pumpkin seeds per 250g in Pakistan?
A 250g pack generally ranges from Rs. 550 to Rs. 900, with sealed, sortex-cleaned packs at the higher end.
Why are loose market pumpkin seeds so much cheaper?
Loose, ungraded seeds sold at local markets haven’t been sortex-cleaned, so the price is lower but a portion of the weight is broken pieces, husk, and foreign matter you’ll discard yourself.
Are pumpkin seeds (Kaddu ke Beej) and pepitas the same thing?
Pepitas are the shelled, hull-less green kernel — essentially pumpkin seeds with the white outer husk already removed. They cost more per kilogram than in-shell pumpkin seeds because you’re paying for edible weight only.
