Olive Oil

CAMEROON AND NIGERIA

Cooking oil is an example of a homogeneous mixture, because it has the same consistancy throughout. There is no need to shake it up before using. Shaking is necessary when the contents of a solution settle at the bottom of a solution, such as in Italian salad dressing.

Our primary use of "Sweet Oil" is for minor burns. My wife keeps a bottle in the kitchen and a quick dab of oil takes care of spatter burns or other accidental kitchen burns. Our son, when working at a fast food restaurant, accidentally dipped his fingers into a vat of fries oil. The store manager sent him home, without any first aid. We kept is fingers which had large blisters bathed with "Sweet Oil" for three or four days. The burns healed with no scarring.

You'll need a second reference for this, however, olive oil was a precious oil. It held significant monitary value, and was therefore a commodity used to signify wealth. People of the biblical times viewed farmers "blessed" with abundant crops as wealthy and the other way around. Wealthy farmers were seen as "blessed", even if this weren't the case. Olive oil, being somewhat exspensive was used to "bless" people by anointing them with the oil. Anointing may be as little as a smudge or in many cases, they would drench the individual with olive oil. This would show the wealth and favor that God had given this individual.

Not really. They have different properties and cook differently. You can sometimes use olive oil to saute something in place of butter, but if the recipe calls for butter, use butter. Sometimes you can substitute vegetable oil or canola oil, but not olive oil.

Yes, you could, but it would give it a definitely different taste. Actually, you can substitute unsweetened applesauce for oil amounts in most recipes except cookies, pie crusts or any type of pastry dough.

Olive oil is made from crushing the fruit of olives. There are primarily 2 methods that are used in the world today. First is the continuous method, which crushes the entire olive into a paste, then separates the solids from the oil. Second is the integral method, which removes the stones from the olives before they are crushed. The integral method is favored by many because it produces 4 valuable products: high quality extra virgin olive oil, highly nutritious olive water, dry olive flesh for cattle feed, and oil bearing stones for fuel.

Absolutely! I usually put enough butter into the pan to cover the bottom half of the asparagus. Mix it up a few times while baking and then the asparagus takes on the buttery taste and you have a plate of delicious veggies! The big draw back is that you've now made a healthy dish into something slightly less healthy and slightly more cholesteroly.

The colour shouldn't change. This isn't because the olive oil is neither acidic or alkaline, but because the litmus paper only works with aqueous solutions. Indicator papers measure the balance of positive hydrogen (H+) ions (predominant in acids), and the negative hydroxide (OH-) ions (predominant in alkalies) that float around in ionic aqueous solutions. As oil is not an ionic solution, there is nothing for the paper to read. It would just make the paper go translucent, as any paper other does when soaked in oil.

Olive Oil does not make your hair grow. However, oil treatments (including olive, coconut, neem, peanut, and others) do help keep hair in tip-top condition. It will appear that your hair is growing faster simply because regular oil treatments will prevent breakage in your hair. So, will it grow faster? No. But because it prevents breakage your hair will be longer than it would without it. Maternal vitamins do help with hair growth (be aware that vitamins in a powder form i.e. not a hard capsule but rather a powder inside a gelatin type capsule allows for more absorption of the nutrients in the vitamin).

Yes.

Gluten comes from wheat, barley and rye, so there is no risk of gluten being present in pure olive oil.

olive oil is good for your skin because it moisturizes your skin down to all the layers of your skin. It is not the best because it has chemicals in the product. You could use baby oil, it would have the same effect as olive oil yet a bit healthier for skin.

You bet it does, Olive oil is, of course, an oil. Now to what extent I don't think that it would catch fire until it was well above frying temperature (about 350 degrees Fahrenheit). It will start to smoke if you continue heating it but not using it. The food you cook draws the temperature in and cools the oil slightly. Be aware if oil that you are cooking with is smoking lest it catch fire.

Peeled garlic should be refrigerated if it is stored in garlic. The microbe of concern is Clostridium botulinum. Under such anaerobic conditions, C.bot. can grow and form deadly toxins if not refrigerated properly.
