pumpkin oil
Rapunzel Pumpkin Oil is cold-pressed in Austria from slightly roasted pumpkin seeds to enhance their robust flavor. This exquisite gourmet oil is handcrafted in the traditional Austrian-Hungarian way and is great for salads, soups, slightly hot dishes, or bread dipping. Drizzle sparingly over vegetables or fish. Keep refrigerated after opening. Do not overheat.
Pumpkins are some of the biggest fruits flora can produce, weighing up to 55 pounds (25 kg) each. They are also one of the highest vegetable sources of protein. The pumpkin plant is an indigenous plant of the American tropics, and its flesh was dried and ground for flour by American Indians.
