Title: Oil from Sunflower seed
Post by: TWP on May 01, 2015, 10:20:36 AM
This is an "Instructable" about extracting Sunflower seed oil from homegrown seed.

You do need the mechanical extractor and while it could be home-built. I think in this case
it makes sense to purchase the unit.

The extractor will also work on other oil-seeds, if you can grown them in your area.

Depending on your frame of mind, using non-GMO seeds may work better for you.

Please note the comment aoout "Black Oil Sunflowers" as being a better choice for oil production.

Other sunflower seed still produce oil, but in lower quantities...
