Description
Pumpkin seed oil has an intense, nutty-melted flavor with a hint of smokiness and a deep, dark green-brown color with a thick consistency, often used as an aromatic finishing touch. It is rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids (mainly linoleic acid), vitamin E, phytosterols, and antioxidants, which support heart health, may help regulate cholesterol levels, and exhibit anti-inflammatory properties; studies also suggest benefits for prostate and urinary tract health. In the kitchen, pumpkin seed oil is best used cold as an addition to salads, cream soups, dips, cottage cheese, roasted vegetables, or desserts, avoiding intense frying due to its low smoke point. Store in a sealed, dark glass container in a cool place or in the refrigerator after opening, away from light and heat; shake well before use and consume within a few months.
