Pumpkin seed oil is the oil extracted from the seeds of a pumpkin or Cucurbita maxima. Research suggests pumpkin seed oil can prevent and reverse hair loss, ease menopause symptoms, improve prostate and heart health, and treat overactive bladder.

Just a few drops of this fine oil rounds off any salad, dip, dressing, soup, such as delicious pumpkin soup or even green smoothies. The Virgin Pumpkin Seed Oil is not suitable for frying and should only be carefully heated.

Refined sunflower oil naturally has a high proportion of essential fatty acids, like linoleic acid, which is better for cholesterol levels making it a good choice for heart health and preventing cardiovascular disease. It also contains vitamin E, but the oil’s antioxidant properties tend to break down during cooking (even more so than olive oil, with its lower smoke point!), decreasing its potential health benefits.
