What's that Slimy Stuff..."


Can anyone help answer the following question that I received?


"Hello Bob,
 
I have a question regarding the slimy coating found on pumpkin seeds that has
them squirting out of your hands, the kids always ask and I don't have an
answer. What is this protective coating called?...."

BTW: This is a school teacher. I'd love to hear both the humorous names that
I'm sure you have for it. But, also it's real name...

Thanks,

Bob Matthews
