Abstract

In my article, I chose one group of cucurbits, the oil pumpkin. The pumpkin can be considered an old cultivated plant dating back hundreds of years, but the importance of the oil pumpkin can be traced back to the last 10 years. My goal in writing this article is to point out the importance of pumpkin seed oil and to highlight its beneficial effects in addition to emphasizing a healthy lifestyle. In Hungary, pumpkin seed oil is more important in the western part of the country's border (Vas and Zala counties), while in Romania it is in Cluj County and the surrounding areas, as well as the territorial units of Bucharest. In addition to its characteristic delicious taste, pumpkin seed oil is also considered healthy, as it is considered one of the best immune-boosting substances. Pumpkin seed oil is also beneficial for preserving masculinity, preventing prostate problems, and stomach and digestion problems. After presenting the cultivation conditions of pumpkin seed oil, I present the production possibilities of pumpkin seed oil and the market prospects of pumpkin seed oil from the perspective of Romania.
