Harvest Bowl

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a harvest bowl?

  A harvest bowl, popularized by fast-casual chains like Sweetgreen, is a salad or grain bowl combining greens, grains, proteins, mix-ins, and toppings to deliver diverse textures and flavors. Commonly featuring fall-inspired ingredients, many copycat versions of these bowls include chicken, shredded kale, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, pumpkin seeds, dried fruits like raisins or cranberries, and typically goat cheese.

• Are pumpkin seeds and pepitas the same?

  Pumpkin seeds are the whole seeds found inside pumpkins, encased in a white or beige shell. Pepitas, however are the green seeds found without shells in specific pumpkin varieties, or are hulled from traditional pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds have a chewier texture and nutty flavor while pepitas are slightly more oily and have a crunchier texture.
