PRIMABENE® Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil originates 100% from Styria. The high-quality Styrian oil pumpkins provide soft-shell seeds, which are particularly well-suited for oil extraction. In addition to fatty oils, the pumpkin seeds contain about 25% protein, fruit acids, resin, lecithin, and cucurbitacins. The chlorophyll contained in the seed hull and the carotene give the pumpkin seed oil its dark color.
PRIMABENE® Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil is a gourmet oil with an intense, nutty flavor, making it particularly suitable for refining dishes such as salads, dips, spreads, and desserts.
