Thank you anyway. I've recently made some fresh harvest oil with Olive oil as a carrier following SweetSue's method.
Just curious if you had any knowledge or opinion on how much the Olive oil extracts.
I found an article in the National Library of Medicine on this, but those abstracts have always given me a headache trying to understand.
From an article I read ages ago MCT or coconut oil does a better extract and both are very healthy. Handles heat better than olive oil too. You can put bud or sugar leaf etc into it to cook for an hour at say 200F then raise the temp to 250F for a half or so to decarb then strain and use right away.
MCT stays liquid at room temp, is extracted from coconut oil and has no coconut taste if that's an issue. A lot more expensive than coconut oil tho. I keep a bottle of MCT in the fridge and add it to smoothies, soups, sauces or squirt some on a plate of pasta etc. No taste really to affect your favourite recipes like coconut oil would. Doesn't harden up and stick to the insides of your blender like coconut oil either.
Ever feel chilled inside where even a warm house or warm clothes won't help? A heaping spoonful of coconut oil will warm you up from the inside in 10min.
I try to eat 25ml or more of coconut oil every day as a brain protectant. Found out about 7 years ago when I made contact with my birth mother's kids that she was diagnosed with dementia at age 65 and died at 75 just 6 months before I made contact. I'm 69 now and so far so good.
