Im going to extract some oil out of plants. But idk what I can do with it. I thought of making a candle or something like that. Do you have any other
ideas?Hendrik - 20-8-2018 at 10:27
What plants have you performed the extraction on? unionised - 20-8-2018 at 10:29
If the plant is an olive tree, you can fry food in the oil.
If it is a pine tree... you can't. Vertox - 20-8-2018 at 10:34
Yeah it was a pine tree.
Edit: It will be a pine tree.

Potatoes cooked in pine resin. Mmmm Mmmm good.
Seriously; it's like the only food dish cooked that way I've ever heard of but it gives great results.
I think it's in old editions of Joy Of Cooking.
If you do pine trees, you ought to be able to get turpentine too.
I don't recall if they're actually in the tree or products of pyrolysis, but turpentine and pine tar used to be fairly big industrial products.
I think a lot of longleaf pine down south was grown for this purpose.
EDIT: Nope, the Joy recipe is potatoes in rosin.
Not sure if that's the same thing as what I had served to me as potatoes in pine resin or not.
Rosin's like, more refined by the look of it (and smell).
