Quick Tip: Surprising uses for olive oil from The Daily Green.
"Olive oil is more than a cartoon character, a historic symbol of peace and glory, or a food staple of the much-vaunted Mediterranean diet. It is actually tremendously useful stuff, finding applications in personal care, home improvement, green cleaning, natural remedies, and other areas."
I agree! Although I usually just use olive oil to saute vegetables and toss into pasta to keep it from sticking, there are definitely a lot of non-food related uses on this list.
My favorites:
- Taking a sip of olive oil to curb snoring
- Feeding some olive oil (subtly) to your cat to improve its health
- Putting a little olive oil by your ear to cure an earache
Spring the whole list!
