does anyone know how one would go about this? the nuts are supposed to be a natural resource for heptane.

en.wikipedia.org

this would be quite cool. then it would be an all natural product! yummy!

Well, it tells you on the same article,

Wikipedia said:
The oil can also be distilled into a very pure form of n-Heptane.

No easier way I am afraid...

Heptane from crude oil isn't a natural product?
