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.

  • Essential vitamins: Full of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, sterols, and vitamins (A, B, E, K).
  • Supports immune system: The oil has antioxidants including carotenoids like beta-carotene and lutein, which support the immune system.
  • Strengthens natural defenses: It contains significant levels of magnesium, zinc, and iron, crucial for maintaining optimal bodily functions.
  • Promotes a healthy heart: An abundance of unsaturated fatty acids, such as omega-3 and omega-6, for promoting a healthy heart.
  • Skin’s best friend: The high vitamin E content helps maintain skin elasticity, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promotes a healthy complexion.
  • Hair nutrient: When applied topically, the oil can also work wonders for nourishing and revitalising hair.

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.
