• Should you grow and press your own seed and nut oils?
  • If you want to have a sustainable oil source (that¡¯s not from animal fats), then consider growing and pressing your own seed and nut oils at home. In this post, my guest Bevin Cohen and I are breaking down everything you need to know about pressing your own seed and nut oils.
  • What kind of oil do you use to press your own?
  • And like I said, we touch on each oil specifically in the book, but out of the ones that we just talked about, the five most common ones, pumpkin seed oil, hemp seed oil, flax seed oil, refrigerate, sunflower oil, peanut oil, counter. Great. So let’s dive into what tools and supplies we need to actually press our own at home.
  • Are oil seed sunflowers a waste?
  • Oil seed sunflowers were developed in Russia and can grow in most climates. When pressing seeds into oils, there is virtually no waste. Bevin shares that they pressed mainly hemp seeds and would feed the hemp cake (what¡¯s left over after pressing the oil) to their pigs.
  • What is a fresh pressed oil mill?
  • Freshly pressed oils have unique, complex flavors that bottled oils can’t match, and fresh oils may have added health benefits, too. Our European-style mill makes it easy to press your own. As far as we know, it’s the only home-sized, non-electric oil mill on the market today. IMPORTANT! The key to successful pressing is the seeds and nuts you use.
  • Can you make oil from seeds & nuts?
  • With the press you can not only squeeze oil from all seeds and nuts with more than 25% oil, but you can also use the press as an olive press (including the pit), palm fruit press, coffee grinder, peanut butter machine and you can even make avocado oil from dried avocados with it. Press seeds and nuts to make your own cosmetic carrier oil.
  • Can you plant seeds from fresh pressed sunflower oil?
  • Right on. But I tell you, once you taste that fresh pressed sunflower oil, you’re going to start finding places to plant some seeds for sure. Absolutely. Absolutely.
