How to make butter from walnut

The best product is the one that is produced in the traditional way. Cold spinning during production preserves not only all microelements, amino acids and fats. In full in the vitamins remain - the main health pantry.

In the Altai villages, the walnut was cleared of shells on a special device. It looks like an ordinary hand mill, on which the Altaians grind the toasted corn on a talcum (a kind of barley). With a certain adjustment, such a mill cleaves the nuts, and the shells, together with the kernels, roll down into the collecting box.

The kernels, separated from the shell on the winnowing machine, are carried to the press. The present pressure press is made of hardwoods, but the containers are made of cedar wood, from a solid tree, the one that dried on the vine. Such wood is surprisingly strong and does not rot.

Cedarwood

This product was extracted with the help of a tap of cedar plantations. To date, industrial cutting of this tree across Russia is prohibited, and this barbarous way of extracting resin from live cedar wood is also not used. But, as the great Russian woodcutter V. V. Dokuchaev said, there is no forest without cutting. Forestry enterprises carry out selective reforesting cuttings. In the course of them, it becomes possible to prepare a small amount of gum, which is now used for medical purposes.

Cedar gum, in comparison with pine, contains more terpentines and essential oils. Its antiseptic properties have long been known. In this category, cedar is beyond competition. Even drying it on the trunk occurs throughout the warm season. Barras, hardened gum, retains almost all the useful properties. If there is turpentine cedar in cedar oil, reviews about this product are the most enthusiastic. Apply the product as an external antifungal and wound healing, used in creams and balms.

Another type of cedar oil

Cedar oil, obtained by distillation of cedar lapnika (branches with needles), is widely known to a wide range of readers. This is due to the popularity of fir oil and a ban on cedar felling. But, as indicated above, the opportunities for small pieces remain. If a forestry enterprise produces fir oil, it is not difficult to drive out cedar oil in small quantities. Migration of equipment for this is not required.

Cedar oil from coniferous foot is, in fact, the same gum, but with a higher content of essential oils and lower - rosin. This is the essence of a powerful action for external use. Essential oils, rich in phytoncides and trace elements, are used to treat rheumatism, arthritis and arthrosis, for inhalations for colds. Ingestion in microscopic doses can accelerate recovery in inflammatory processes in the body.
