Pumpkin seed oil: Poor flavor and texture
Since I visited the Styrian region of Austria, I've been trying to find good pumpkin seed oil online.  I've found two brands that are sometimes great, sometimes not; they're from farming co-ops in Austria, and this is probably part of natural variation in seeds and seasons.  Still, I'm always looking for a good, consistent brand.  I must say this brand is one of the worst of the 8 that I've tried.  It should have a dark green color in the bottle (red only when more thinly dispersed), which it does not, and the flavor is not good--there's actually almost no flavor and what there is tastes "dusty" and "heavy/oily".  Good pumpkin seed oil is heavenly--such a warm, nutty flavor I cannot describe.  I'm debating whether to make myself use the bottle or, sadly, just pour it down the drain.  It's not good enough to give away.  Maybe this poor quality is also due to a seasonal variation, but based on this bottle, I don't recommend it and would not try it again.  (I will say that the labeling is nice; the bottle is attractive to look at!)
