The fun thing about Eden’s research department is that there is always something new in the making.
I’ve already introduced you to the Eden leaves, the Eden beans and the Eden nuts, and yesterday, I got my first taste of Eden oil. It was really good!
There’s something so precious about rediscovering the Lost Treasures of Eden and finding uses for foods that have been rejected by the Western World as are known only as famine foods.
It amazes me what a vast variety of products our farmers will be able to acquire from their Eden Gardens and I know of no other concept that can make an individual in one of the harshest climates in the world self-sufficient.
As for this experiment above, it worked really well! The oil press produced a high-quality virgin oil with a unique twist that I have never tasted before! I used to think that Avocado oil was my favourite, but that position is now being challenged!
The heat deriving from the flame helps to expel the oil from the nuts
Unlike Soybean oil for instance (which is commonly extracted with hexane), this oil is a 100% organic. Just the way Eden likes it!
And once you’ve expelled the oil, you leave it for a few days for the remnants of residue to separate from the oil.

Is it groundnut Joseph is pressing oil from?
Coolt! Måste jag få testa!!
Kram
Awesome. Could you, would you, explain the process a bit more?
That is so cool. You can press oil out of any seed/nut!
@Kari: I will have to look that up, since it depends on the temperature.
@Jerome: No, those are Eden seeds (not groundnuts) that Josef is working with. The fruits are much appreciated amongst our Tanout population and substitute sweets.
@Karin: Yes, you must! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!
@Suzanne: This particular oil expeller is a screw press. The nuts are entered from the top and crushed when you turn the handle. The small flame warms up the “nut cake”, which increases the oil yield. Expeller pressed oil is often more expensive than other oils as it involves more man-power (and machine power), but the benefits are evident when there are no chemicals involved in the process.
[...] week, the Eden research department came up with a delicious smooth-tasting oil, and the day after, we tried out the latest solar oven purchase with a whole-grain sorghum [...]
