Did you know that:
Pumpkin is considered to be native to South America, where it has been used as a food since 3000 BC. Pumpkins were also popular in other regions: excavations in ancient Indian burial sites have found seeds of the plant. In Greece, ancient vessels were found which were made from the same gourd, or more precisely, from a ‘frame’ made of the dense skin of the fruit. In the Ancient East, entire treatises were devoted to this vegetable: even the famous Avicenna did not neglect the pumpkin, as he knew of its medicinal properties and the oil it yielded. It was not the flesh of the pumpkin that was considered particularly valuable in terms of its composition and properties, but the oil that began to be extracted in the Middle Ages from the pumpkin seeds.
Pumpkin seed oil is said to be produced in Austria. To this day, the Land of Styria is a supplier of the highest quality oil. And that’s because it is made from a special variety of pumpkin seed – the ‘Styrian pumpkin’. In the Middle Ages, pumpkin seed oil was fabulously expensive: a small bottle of the precious liquid, about 200 ml in volume, was equivalent in value to a gold ring. In Austria, there was even a decree that pumpkin seed oil could only be sold in pharmacies.
