Pumpkin Seed Oil
· Virgin ·
250 ml
The delicious BIO PLANÈTE Virgin Pumpkin Seed Oil is made using only the seeds of the Styrian pumpkin. To produce it, after harvesting, the high-quality organic pumpkin seeds are removed from the pumpkins, washed, cleaned and dried. After just two days of cold storage they are put through the oil press. To preserve their valuable ingredients, the high-quality Styrian pumpkin seeds are cold-pressed.
The mild, nutty-tasting virgin BIO PLANÈTE Pumpkin Seed Oil places greater emphasis on the original taste of the delicious organic pumpkin seeds than the roasted version. It is rich in essential polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, which helps protect cells against oxidative stress.

What does cold pressing mean?
"Cold pressing" assumes that no external heat is added. When we cold-press oils, the temperature is monitored and we ensure that no high temperatures are reached. We can therefore guarantee that the quality of the oil is not impaired.

What does "virgin" mean in the context of oils?
A virgin oil is a cooking oil which is obtained exclusively using mechanical processes without preheating the raw materials. It is not subjected to chemical or thermal treatment or to any other refinement process and thus preserves its authentic, natural taste and the essential components of the raw material. This also makes it suitable for eating raw.
