Description

Swanson Certified Organic Extra Virgin Pumpkin Seed Oil imparts a delicate to intense nutty flavor with exotic earthy tones. Although distinctively American by origin, pumpkin seed oil has been popular throughout Europe for centuries. This unusual oil is valued both for its unique flavor and its benefits, which are due primarily to its unique balance of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids. Our Pumpkin Seed Oil is cold pressed to the highest standards, producing a fresh, flavorful oil that retains all components. Because heat destroys the nutrient content of pumpkin seed oil, it’s not recommended for direct stove top cooking.
