The pleasures of pumpkin seed oil (from Ireland)

Pumpkin Seed Oil Press Review

Ireland Ireland | The Irish Times

Pumpkin seed oil is a powerhouse of nutritional benefits, as well as having a strong nutty taste and an attractive deep green colour.

The Pleasures of Pumpkin Seed Oil in Ireland
It is made from a special variety of pumpkins grown only for their seeds, which when they are roasted and cold pressed, yield an oil that is rich in vitamins A and E, Omega-3 fatty acids and zinc. Some of the claims made for it include the promotion of strong hair and good skin, which may be why it is a favourite of Gwyneth Paltrow. It can be used for drizzling or dipping.

Marks & Spencer are now stocking a Slovenian pumpkin seed oil by Scarlett & Mustard (€15 for 250ml).

(Comment of the Pumpkin Seed Oil web crawlers: Check prices and quality of the Austrian Original first!)

Try it instead of olive oil for dressings, as a dip for raw vegetables or drizzled over vanilla ice cream.
