Cucurbit Vegetable Seeds Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Cucurbits are delicious vegetables that are high in vitamin A. Cucurbit vegetable seeds are considered oilseeds. The oil is edible and unsaturated. Cucurbit seed proteins appear edible, and supplementation with certain amino acids increases the protein's nutritional value. The entire cucurbit seed is made up of 50% oil and 35% protein. Cucurbit vegetable seeds are usually easily separated from the stringy pulp that surrounds them. A light fermentation of the seeds for 24-72 hours can sometimes be beneficial in cleaning the seeds of pulp. The cleaned seeds are thoroughly washed before being processed for use or dried for storage.
