Beechnut oil is a highly concentrated oil from beechnuts - the fruits of the common beech tree that grows in our forests.
Every year in autumn countless nature lovers go into the forest. There they find large amounts of beechnuts. When they get home, they roast them and bring the wonderful nutty aroma of the forest into their home kitchen.
Beechnuts not only taste delicious. They also bring many valuable ingredients with them, such as unsaturated fatty acids and important vitamins such as B1, B6 and folic acid. In addition, valuable minerals are included, including iron, copper and zinc. These are particularly concentrated in beechnut oil, because a large amount of beechnut is needed to produce one drop of the valuable oil. The beechnut oil is a special rarity among edible oils.
