Product Description

  • Organic Extra Virgin Pumpkin Seed Oil is an unrefined oil ranging in color from dark yellow or orange to a rich olive green, carrying a characteristic nutty pumpkin aroma and flavor profile. As with all virgin materials and depending on the region of manufacture, natural variation may occur between each batch or lot produced. Extra virgin pumpkin seed oil, referred to by its botanical name Cucurbita pepo, is cold-pressed extracted from the seeds of the pumpkin, unroasted, and non-GMO. This high quality oil is a preferred culinary or cosmetic ingredient due to its naturally occurring essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamin content. It is commonly used in a wide range of culinary applications such as salad dressings, cooking oil, dipping oil for bread, marinades, or even as a complimentary drizzle on desserts. In the cosmetic world, it’s found in a range of topical products such as skin creams, lotions, balms, and massage oils. Extra virgin pumpkin seed oil has a relatively high level of unsaturated Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids which have increased its popularity in the supplement world.
  • Large 4 oz Dark amber glass bottle & glass stopper extends the shelf life as oils are light sensitive and must be stored in dark amber bottles to protect them from oxidation. (Pure natural oils that are not packaged in dark bottles will lose potency and become ineffective.)
