Excellent source of energy and you can scatter the ash on the garden for a double dose of recycling. Chuck them on the fire or wood burning stove.

(seeds in general in fact dattes, cherries...). Let them soak for a few weeks in a bassin of water. All the food left onthe seed will roat and seperate and come to the surface. The seeds will float to the bottom and will be perfectly clean. I figured out how to clean them really well. (seeds in general in fact dattes, cherries…).

That does of course mean that I'm still causing thousands of stones to pile up somewhere else, but I wonder what the factories that pit the olives do with the stones? Maybe they're ground up to use in things like natural exfoliant products? I eat ridiculous amounts of olives, but I always buy pitted ones because I can’t be bothered to chew around the stones.

You would maybe have to do a few test runs though first to ensure it works and to make sure they were super clean!!
