evening primrose seed oil
It (Oenothera biennis) has a lot of uses listed, a quick search will turn up some sites, but not a lot out there on processing the seeds, which are ripe in my area. The leaves are gone and no more flowers, just pods ready to open. Should be just right for extracting the oil. It's supposed to be good for your skin.. I'd like to try it for winter dryness.
Has anybody tried this, or know which kind of press to use? I turned up a couple different kinds, not sure which one would be best to use, or how many it will take to even get a usable amount of oil.
Just looking for some more info, if anyone knows, or comes across anything.
It's also said to be a good spindle for hand drilling, and a cordage plant, which I didn't get around to trying earlier, but I might have some stalks to try if I find more on this oil.
One of those good-all-around plants..
