The Pepitos or locally known as "Macoby seeds” in Belize is a street treat that has long been a favorite. The shelled pumpkin seeds are often labeled pepitas, which means "little seeds” in Spanish. The pumpkin seeds are easy to make, fast and a tasty substitute for nuts. These roasted seeds

This popular delicacy sold in the shell, shelled, roasted, and raw. They can be found in stores and local street stalls sold in bags in all over Belize.
