You can eat the shells, but should do so in moderation. Eating large amounts of sunflower seed shells has been reported to cause severe constipation and stomach cramps. Eating them more than occasionally is really bad. But I do, and I know some others that do as well.

- Of course i do every year season them as desired (season salt) butter the pan place in the oven between 250 and 350 bake until golden brown 10 min or so. taste real good so yes you can eat the shell once cooked its what makes eating pumpkin seeds the best.
After roasting my pumpkin seeds, shell and all, I eat the whole thing!
