Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are these seeds for planting or oil extraction?
Answer: We supply seeds for both purposes.
- For Extraction: We supply bulk commercial grade with high oil content.
- For Planting: We can select high-viability seeds from specific high-yielding mother plants upon request.
2. What is the expected oil yield?
Answer: A good quality crush typically yields about 45% to 50% of liquid wax by weight, depending on the efficiency of your expeller press.
3. Is Jojoba Oil edible?
Answer: No. Jojoba "oil" is technically a liquid wax. It is indigestible by the human body and acts as a laxative. It is strictly for Cosmetic and Industrial use only.
4. What is the shelf life of the seeds?
Answer: Jojoba seeds are incredibly stable due to their unique chemical structure. If stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture, they can remain viable for 2 to 3 years.
5. Do you supply the oil as well?
Answer: Yes. If you do not have extraction facilities, we can supply ready-to-use Golden Jojoba Oil. Please visit our "Oils" category for details.
