Overcoming the challenge of Unemployment by Acquiring Vocational/IT skills – Series one – Day 19- Making of Organic Oils
There are lots of legitimate ways of making money. Being rich does not have to be through crooked ways or means. Making organic oils is one of the legitimate ways of making money. There are several types of organic oils. Examples are coconut oil, carrot oil, shea butter, etc
A female colleague got into the making of coconut oil as a side hustle. Shortly after that, she lost her husband. Her son who was in a high-brow school was worried about his education due to the demise of his father. So, she decided to expand the business.
She went as far as Ghana to buy directly from the coconut grooves there. She licensed her production and went big scale. Today, it is no longer a side hustle but a main hustle for her. She takes care of her family expenses comfortably from this business.
Coconut oil is useful both for health and for cosmetics purposes. It is consumed as a safe alternative to other oils due to its low cholesterol level. It is also used for the skin. It can be produced organically as a virgin oil using either cold-pressed or heat methods.
The heat method
Grate the coconut flesh. Add warm water to it (optional). Press out the liquid milk and boil in a pan. Boil until the creamy milk turns brown and you are left with only oil in the pan. Allow to cool and store in jars for future use.
The cold-press method
Grate the coconut flesh, extract the milk using a mechanical extractor. Put in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight. The oil will solidify on top. Scoop out the pure organic oil. You can repeat the process until you have extracted all the oil from the milk. Store in jars for future use.
