pumpkin seed oil

Squash kernel oil

Pumpkin seed oil is a dark, viscous oil pressed from roasted pumpkin seeds, prized for its intense nutty flavor.

It's a specialty of Central European cuisine, particularly Austrian and Slovenian, where it's drizzled over salads, soups, and desserts: a few drops of pumpkin seed oil transformed the dish.

The oil is also sold as a dietary supplement.
