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.
