Also pumpkin oil. Oil made by pressing roasted pumpkin seeds to extract their liquid fat. First pressed in Styria, Austria, and still commonly available there, pumpkin seed oil has a strong flavor and can be overpowering in large quantities, so it is often used sparingly as an accent or in conjunction with other oils. It is rich in zinc, vitamin E and essential fatty acids, and is therefore a common ingredient in nutritional supplements.
