Note 268 — CONTENTS. (continued 5)

Here is still another use of the kukui fruit: It is made into oil. It is first gathered, and when there is plenty it is cooked in the imu; when cooked it is cracked and the shell separated from the kernel. The kernel is made into oil by pounding it on a board until it is pulverized; then a large smooth ala268 stone is rolled on this pulverized kukui meat. The juice is then run into a container through a strainer that would keep out the dregs. That is one use of the fruit of the kukui—for oil; but perhaps there are more uses of the fruit of the kukui, but these are what I have seen being done with my own eyes, and that is why I have brought these things for your enlightenment, my friends.
