Had this today, I must say I've never heard of Peony seed oil,

A little research indicates that it is something the Chinese value, it
hasn't caught on elsewhere. I would imagine that one would need Chinese
agricultural labour costs and Chinese agricultural conditions to make
money from growing it.


My tree peonies (lutea) produce such a reliable crop of very large
seeds, I'm glad to have found a use for them at TEOTWAWKI, which I
believe is due(again) in December.

The birds and squirrels leave them well alone so I'd never even
considere they might be edible.

They may not be. Incidentally any suggestions how to germinate them?
