Pumpkin seed oil

In the Middle Ages, pumpkin seed oil was called "green gold" in European countries.

The oil cost about the same as a large gold ring. Such a high price for oils is explained by the fact that to obtain one liter of oil using the cold-pressing method, approximately two and a half kilograms of seeds will be needed. This amount of seeds is obtained from 30-40 pumpkins!

Their deep green color, which is also transferred to the oil, is due to their high chlorophyll content. Chlorophyll, which has high antioxidant properties, prevents premature aging, neutralizes the action of free radicals, and strengthens the immune system.
