About Pomegranate seed oil
Pomegranate seed oil is an oil extracted from the seeds within pomegranate arils. It is a distinct product from pomegranate juice and from oils made from other parts of the fruit. The oil is generally used in small quantities, including in food preparations where an oil with a mild, characteristic flavour is wanted. Extraction may be mechanical or involve other processing, which can affect the finished product.
It is typically sold as a bottled liquid oil, though refinement and intended use can vary. The oil’s appearance and flavour may differ among products, and a label is needed to establish whether it is food-grade and how it was processed. Seed oil should not be described as equivalent to the fruit’s juicy arils or pressed juice.
