Subject: [NAFEX] extracting oil from rosehip seeds

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.
