Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil
Styrian pumpkin seed oil is a richly flavoured green-black coloured oil that is pressed from the soft seeds of the oil pumpkin grown in Styria. It is sold throughout Austria and in some countries abroad (I have spotted it in London, for example). It makes green leafy salads and potato salads taste great. On the more exotic side, I have even had ice cream from pumpkin seed oil in a tavern in the Vienna Woods, strangely delicious! Pumpkin seed oil is also said to help with prostate-related illnesses, arteriosclerosis, and high blood pressure. Some women use it as an anti-ageing product and to prevent dry skin because it is rich in vitamins A, E and in carotenoids.
