Kukui Nut Oil (Aleurites moluccanus): The Hawaiian Candlenut, Linolenic-Linoleic Essential Lipids, and Dermal Restoration

The Hawaiian Candlenut of Ancient Healing Groves

Reaching high into the emerald ridges of Hawaiian valleys, the silver-green canopies of the Kukui Tree (Aleurites moluccanus) produce hard black nuts so rich in oil that ancient Hawaiians strung them on palm frond ribs to burn as long-lasting candles (Candlenut).
