About Pumpkin seed oil

Pumpkin seed oil is oil pressed from pumpkin seeds. It is commonly deep green to reddish brown, though colour varies with seed type and processing, and it has a pronounced roasted, nutty flavour. Some oils are made from roasted seeds, while others are pressed from unroasted seeds, producing different aromas and colours.

It is generally used as a finishing oil or in dressings rather than treated as a neutral cooking oil. The product may be filtered or unfiltered, and pressing and roasting practices vary by region and maker. These differences give oils sold under the same name noticeably different flavour and appearance.
