Is Styrian pumpkin seed oil suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

Yes, the oil is 100 % pumpkin‑seed oil, contains no animal ingredients or gluten, and its high‑fat, zero‑carb profile makes it compatible with vegan and keto dietary patterns.

What are the sustainability considerations of using pumpkin seed oil as the sole ingredient?

Pumpkin seed oil is produced from the seeds of pumpkins, a crop that can be grown locally in Austria; utilizing the seeds makes use of a by‑product of pumpkin processing, reducing waste and, combined with short transport distances, results in a relatively low environmental impact.

How should an opened bottle of Styrian pumpkin seed oil be stored to preserve its quality?

Keep the bottle tightly sealed and store it in a cool, dark place away from heat and light, ideally refrigerated after opening, and consume it within about six months to limit oxidation and maintain flavor.
