How Batana Oil is Extracted

This video shows the traditional process of extracting batana oil and how we make our Batana Oil at Batana Babe. You can see how men use a large wooden tool to crack open batana seeds with controlled force, breaking the tough shells to access the kernels inside. Watch the straightforward, hands-on method used to prepare the seeds for oil extraction.
