M Oil



Moringa seeds contain oil that can be used for cooking. It is quite acceptable to taste, and does not become rancid.

Instructions:

  1. Brown the seeds in a skillet.
  2. Mash the seeds thoroughly.
  3. Place the seed mash in boiling water.
  4. The oil will rise to the surface, where you can skim it off.


The seed cake left over after extracting oil can be used for water purification. It can also be used as fertilizer.
