Did you know that:
– The Styrian oil pumpkin is a special variety of pumpkin whose seeds do not have a hard shell. The oil has a reddish-brown colour when it is in the bottle. The pumpkin seed oil itself has a deep green colour, which is due to its high chlorophyll content. The green colour becomes visible as the oil is used. For example, when added to salads or porridge, the oil takes on a deep green colour on the surface of the food.
– Pumpkin seed oil contains mainly unsaturated fatty acids, in particular omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, namely linoleic acid. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are not synthesised in the body and must be taken in through food. Pumpkin seed oil is also high in monounsaturated oleic acid
– Pumpkin seed oil contains tocopherols (vitamin E), fat-soluble vitamin K, water-soluble vitamin B complex (B1, B2, B3, B4, B6, B9), phytosterols and phospholipids.
– Pumpkin seeds contain sugurbitine, an amino acid that helps to cleanse the body and eliminate parasites. It does not cause intoxication and does not irritate the intestinal mucosa.
