Pumpkin seed oil 250ml

A knowledge pill about this product:

Pumpkin seed oil, called 'green gold' by some, is obtained by cold-pressing pumpkin seeds. This process results in a greenish-brown vegetable oil, which is characterised by a nutty taste and smell. It contains approximately 80% of the unsaturated fatty acids necessary for the body to function properly, 60% of which are polyunsaturated (linoleic acid).
Pumpkin oil is an easily digestible oil due to its specific composition of unsaturated fatty acids. It also contains other nutrients, i.e. vitamins: E, B1, B2, B6, large amounts of vitamins: A, C and D, zinc, potassium and selenium, and phytosterols.

• dry dishes as well as sweet dishes.

• goes very well with cottage cheese, eggs and all kinds of vegetable pastes such as hummus, tahini, sunflower seed paste and bean paste
