tychels Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Is Rice Bran Flakes the same as Rice Bran Oil? I am going to be picking up some supplies from a local supplier and they carry Rice Bran Flakes not Rice Bran Oil.. I wanted to make sure it was the same thing..TIASharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 As far as I know, one is a cereal and one is an oil, so no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tychels Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Hahahaa.. There is a cereal called Rice Bran Flakes isn't there.. But, I'm pretty sure they don't sell cereal there!Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I've not heard of Rice Bran Flakes in soap oils. I have heard of PKO, which is flakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tychels Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Well, I haven't either, but I'm pretty new to soaping so that doesn't mean anything..lol I have heard of the PKO flakes also and have some. I called them to ask if they carried rice bran oil and she said no they carry rice bran flakes. I asked her if it was the same thing just in flake form and she said yes, but she didn't really sound like she knew what she was talking about, so I thouht I better ask someone who did..Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Rice bran oil is liquid at room temp. Let us know, I'd be interested to hear about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbren Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Yup...I think the person you were speaking with didn't know what she was talking about. Rice Bran Oil is much like Olive Oil...it will never get to the state where it would be hard enough to make flakes. Must have been PKO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I wonder if it is rice bran wax. That would be in flake (solid) form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tychels Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Suds- It is! I called again this morning and talked to someone else.. She said it's more like a wax and it isn't the same thing. Good thing I didn't order it..lol Oh, and I am going to pick up an order from them on Thursday and they are really in Carver, not so much Oregon City.. It's an 90 acre Lavendar farm! Wish me luck finding it..lol Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
