Talk:Tea seed oil

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is this the same stuff as "Oil, vegetable, teaseed" in the USDA NDL database? That is listed as having much lower oleic acid content (50%). 4hodmt 18:52, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Re-inserted removed link with more specific deep link to specific information on same site. Next time try to do a little digging. Not all links are spam.

I think the link in question is now acceptable as it links to an information rich page. --SirDecius 06:24, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Use as cooking oil?

Article claims that tea oil is the primary cooking oil in southern China, but I'm from Hong Kong and I never heard of this. Historically, rapeseed and peanut oils seems to be the vegetable oils of choice, while soybean oil is used as a cheaper alternative. Which, if any, would be the specific provinces in question that use tea oil? Kelvinc (talk) 18:32, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay it seems to be under the first external link. I'm still skeptical as to whether all of southern China can be covered in that statement, so I refined it a bit. Kelvinc (talk) 18:37, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
