ORGANIC Pumpkin seed coconut spread

The spread contains pumpkin seed oil from roasted Styrian pumpkins.

Our pumpkin seed coconut spread is a purely plant-based spread made from roasted pumpkin seed oil and virgin organic coconut oil. The roasted pumpkin seeds are organically grown in Styria, Austria. Both oils are cold-pressed and processed into this delicious pumpkin seed coconut spread according to a tried and tested recipe. It is spreadable like butter or margarine when well chilled. The polyunsaturated fatty acids in the cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil complement the spectrum of saturated fatty acids in the virgin coconut oil.

With valuable organic coconut oil

The valuable coconut oil is not only of the highest quality in terms of taste, it also has impressive nutritional values: although coconut oil contains many saturated fatty acids, it is a special type of fatty acid. The oil consists largely of medium-chain fatty acids, known as MCTs (medium chain triglycerides), such as lauric acid. This lauric acid, which makes up almost half of the fatty acids in coconut oil, is an important component of breast milk, among other things. Combined with a varied diet, organic coconut oil makes an important contribution to a balanced diet.

Storage and shelf life

In the pumpkin seed coconut spread, the otherwise liquid pumpkin seed oil is embedded in a solid, spreadable vegetable fat (virgin coconut fat). In this way, the pumpkin seed oil retains its positive, nutritional properties. The pumpkin seed coconut spread can be kept in the fridge for up to 12 months. The shelf life of the pumpkin seed coconut spread is slightly affected if the oil is kept warm for a long time and is exposed to sunlight at the same time. The spread then becomes liquid. Put the jar back in a cool place such as the fridge and it will solidify again but remain spreadable. The recommended storage temperature for pumpkin seed coconut spread is approx. 8 °C (refrigerator). At this temperature it is spreadable like butter or margarine. At temperatures below 8 °C, the pumpkin seed coconut spread becomes hard and can no longer be spread smoothly on bread.

Thanks to the mixture of coconut oil and pumpkin seed oil, our vegan pumpkin seed coconut spread is spreadable when stored in the fridge. It can be used on its own on bread and baguettes or as a butter substitute for cheese and other cold cuts.
