I have a bucket of rosehips. Most of this volume is seed. There is a high quality edible oil inside the rock-like shell of this seed. Any idea on how to extract the oil? Also the Plants for a Future website says this about Rosa canina seed "The seed is a good source of vitamin E, it can be ground and mixed with flour or added to other foods as a supplement." It seems like if you grind the seed, you will end up with something like a pile of oily grit that will wear down your teeth.
