The Pumpkin house`s Pumpkin Seeds and 100% Pumpkin seed Oil are a treasure of vitamins. It contains vitamins A and E. Vitamin E is especially important due to its antioxidant properties. Pumpkin seed oil is one of the vegetable oils with the highest vitamin E content.
100% Pumpkin seed oil from The Pumpkin house contains 50 mg of vitamin E per 100 grams of oil. Vitamin A is also indispensable to our health because it works similarly to vitamin E, as a free-radical scavenger, strengthens the immune system and maintains good eyesight.
Fats give energy to our bodies, since they have high calorific value (9kcal/gram), but the awareness of an average consumer is still far from perfect.
Fats in pumpkin seed oil affect the levels of positive cholesterol in the blood system. They may be stored and used when our body requires energy. They work together in forming nerve tissue, in producing hormones, they are vital for the production of bile salts, they transfer vitamins (A, E, D, K), they are a source of essential fatty acids: the linoleic an linolenic acids; and some fatty acids play an important role in preventing cardiovascular diseases.
Even if we consume large amounts of fat, the body may still lack the so-called essential fatty acids. The body is not able to synthesize them on its own; therefore they should be introduced with food. We are speaking of linoleic acid, which is the basis for the formation of omega-6 fatty acids (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame oil, etc.), and linolenic acid, which is the basis for the formation of omega-3 fatty acids (flaxseed, fish oil).
Pumpkin seed oil is a handy ingredient to keep around and use on a daily basis to improve your metabolic and physiological health, similar to benefit – rich black seed oil. Packed with tryptophan, unsaturated fatty acids and a high level of antioxidative substances, this silent champion provides a long list of benefits to both men and women. When the oil from these little seeds is extracted at the right temperature, the possibilities are virtually endless.
