Vegetable
Seeds
Pattypan seeds sit in the central cavity. In baby fruit they are soft and usually eaten with the flesh; in mature fruit they enlarge, toughen, and are scooped out like courgette seeds. They are not a major oilseed crop compared with pumpkin. Leave immature seeds in sautéed slices; remove mature seeds before stuffing. Rinsed mature seeds can be roasted as a small snack, though yield is low. Most cooks treat them as a prep trim rather than a product.
