Naked oil seed pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo var. styriaca) is grown for its seed,
which can be eaten or used as a source of oil. The seed is hull-less (hence
naked) so it can be eaten without hulling. It is used for vegetable oil
production, as a snack food, and in muesli mixes. In China and the Americas,
naked pumpkin seeds are often eaten as a snack food, and in Hungary, oil
extracted from the seed is sold as a medicine to relieve prostate problems.
The seed is high in unsaturated fats and protein as well as vitamins A and
E. The seed also has potential as a sandwich spread, similar to peanut butter.
Oil from the seed may be used for deep frying and as a base for mayonnaise,
French dressing and margarine. The oil is dark due to carotenoids and
chlorophyll and, when extracted in solvent, is high in the fatty acids
linoleic, oleic and palmitic. At present, most naked pumpkin seed is imported
into New Zealand; however, some local commercial plantings have been made.
