Pumpkins are thought to have originated in Central America.
Seeds of similar plants have been found in Mexico, dating back to 7000-5500 BC.
Native Americans have used pumpkins as food and medicine for centuries, but they also dried the skin and used it to make mattresses.
Early settlers ate the pumpkin as a main meal, stuffed it with milk, honey and spices, then baked it in hot ashes and this is considered the origin of the pumpkin pie. Once the health benefits of pumpkin were discovered, the era of pumpkin seed oil production began.
Pumpkin seed oil is an excellent choice to improve your health and the taste of your food. This oil has been used as a royal medicine at many times in human history. Today, modern medical practices include this oil as essential in the diet.
