Answer 1

It is possible to get other oils from seeds apart from olives -

Rice husk oil ---- i use this, very nutritious, i think better than oliv oil, can use for cooking and salad dressings.

camelia oil

sunflower seed oil

walnut oil

rape seed oil

flax seed oil

linseed oil

- list goes on and on !

----- check out the oils sections at your local sainsburys / good deli!!!!

Flora is the best marg to use. Have been recommended as the best spreadable fat for sandwiches / toast by my doc  

Answer 2

Yes, it has a lot of Omega-3 in it.

But rapeseed is even better if you ask me. Rapeseed oil and butter made of it is more common here, besides I don't fancy the somewhat nasty tang of olives.

Answer 3

I live in an olive growing region of Spain. You can see olive trees growing in every direction as far as the eye can see. Olives are rich in oil. In Spain they don't use butter or margerine. They just use olive oil. You must remember that butter and margerine last no time at all outside of the fridge here because of the high temperatures. I'm not Spanish, but I prefer olive oil now on my toast rather than butter, and of course it is healthier.

Answer 4

olives have an abundence of oil which is easily release on first press. seeds are not as easy to extract from, and have different properties. Margarine requires hydrogenation to make it hard like butter, and this would bring in some indesired elements, but would be better than marg made with other oils.

Answer 5
