I've wondered if canola oil would sell as well if it was called by it's real name.

Highly unlikely their first acronym of the processed oil didn't do too well either

I have more questions now. The seeds are infinitesimal. Are they in some kind of bag? Do they have to roast them before pressing? It looks like there is ?straw? in the press?

It's a clever press mechanism.

If anyone is interested, I think I have an old ATTRA publication that shows an oil press created from welded steel or plumbing parts and a jack.
