Manifold benefits make pumpkin seed oil exceptional

At Frinton Farms, our lovely pumpkins hide a powerful little seed, when treated the right way produces an oil that is nutty in flavour and full of health benefits.

Our seeds are harvested, washed, dried then cold pressed. Cold pressing means we do not lose any of the natural antioxidants. Our experts handle pumpkin seeds in such a way that they retain all their precious ingredients.

The best pumpkin seed oil has a deep green colour. When you hold it against light, it has a reddish shimmer. The oil must be viscous, but not tough. If it is bitter, it has been roasted too long. Pumpkin seed oil should never frozen to retain its optimum taste.

Nutritional powerhouse

This underrated oil is not only delicious but also packs a punch with its numerous advantages when ingested or applied topically.

As with most oils and fats, pumpkin seed oil should be kept in closed, opaque bottles in a dark place such as a kitchen cabinet. Sunlight and heat could shorten its shelf life and efficacy.  Always consult with a healthcare professional before adding pumpkin oil to your supplement regimen to ensure safety and appropriate dosing.
