Dried broken 🌿 olive stones create a slow-burning fire that is very suitable for cooking. The flames are smokeless!
‼️ Good to know if you are once (again) in caves or have no other cooking option.
Already about 100,000 years ago, people have used olives as fuel for campfires. The smokeless fire is ideal for cave people.
The results of a study have now been published in the journal "Nature Plants".

"So there is every indication that people first ate the fruit and then deliberately broke the olives' stones to burn them more efficiently," said Laurent Marquer, PhD in botany from the research group.
Olive pits were particularly ideal for starting fires in caves. But there is no clear evidence that olives were also eaten and not just used for cooking fuel.
