Omega Nutrition’s organic, cold-pressed Pumpkin Oil adds a rich flavor and deep green color to salads, vegetable and pasta dishes. Pumpkin oil does not have the same fatty acid profile as flax oil and therefore, cannot act as a replacement for flax seed oil, but as a delicious and nutritious addition to food. Pumpkin Oil is high in the EFA omega-6, which plays a role in regulating blood pressure and immune response to injury and infection.
