It's not that squeezable.

And so when you have these very small, hard things, that's why you wind up getting solvent extraction, but you had to do the solvent extraction because

It was not easy otherwise to get oil out of those things.

The solvents is a whole other thing.

I was in a lab once where someone had us analyze residual hexane in foods, and they just bought a bunch of grocery store foods.

And I was kind of...

managing the data analysis while someone I worked with was doing the hexane measurements.

But let me just say that if it's extracted with hexane, it's got hexane left over.

And we saw something that was not hexane.

We didn't know what it was, but it was some chemical solvent that was massive in the pump spray oils.

And after I saw that, I was like, I'm never using a pump spray oil because they – like you could put olive oil in like a mechanical spray bottle.

That's fine.

But like Pam and those other ones, they're using chemicals to make the spraying work.

And it's – there's something that's – some chemical solvent that's just like –

way like massive proportions in it so after i saw that i just stopped stopped using that i won't go near yeah i don't go near those anyway but um what about uh grapeseed i know grapeseed is one that people like to cook with because it has a high smoke point yeah i i would put grapeseed oil in the category of a seed oil that i wouldn't consume in high quantities and is hexane an issue with that as well

I mean, not if it's cold pressed.

I mean, you can get organic cold pressed grapeseed oil that is not solvent extracted.

It's not RBD.

It's not heated.

But you still have to deal with the polyunsaturated fatty acids.
