Bulk Super Foods Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil
Pumpkin seed oil has a long history. For centuries, Austrian farmers have cultivated a unique pumpkin variety called Styrian with a rich seed oil content. The seeds are gently pressed to extract the precious oil, producing only a small quantity each year. Styrian pumpkin seeds have European Protected Designation of Origin status for their exceptional quality.
