STEP ONE
Wash the dirty palm fruits well to remove the dirt matters that may be
clinging to it from harvesting and picking it from the bunch.

STEP TWO
Boil the palm fruits not less than an hour in time after washing them.
How long or short in time to boil the palm fruits to soften depends on the
quality of the palm fruits. Your aim is to boil the fruits until they are
softened enough for the extraction of oil.

Observe to see whether the body of the fresh seeds has started to crack
open. The cracked open body of the fruits indicate that they are softened
enough to be pounded.
