Pumpkin seed oil

Pumpkin seed oil is a dark green to black oil pressed from roasted pumpkin seeds. It has an intense nutty flavor with notes of toasted seeds and gentle sweetness. It is a signature product of Austrian Styrian cuisine, where it is traditionally used as a dressing for salads, soups, and desserts. Thanks to its potent flavor, just a few drops are enough to make an impact. Pumpkin seed oil should not be added to hot dishes, as it burns easily and turns bitter when heated. It pairs excellently with pumpkin soups, green salads, vanilla ice cream, and cottage cheese desserts. It is a rich source of unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, zinc, and antioxidants.
