organic camelina

Camelina sativa, Brassicaceae

bastard flax, German sesame

In the past, camelina was cultivated as a source of food for humans and animals. It is an upright annual herbaceous plant that normally reaches a height of 30 to 90 cm. It has been selected over time for the high oil content of its seeds, an exquisite golden-yellow oil with a taste reminiscent of cabbage, hazelnut and asparagus. It is rich in essential fatty acids such as omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid, hence its recent resurgence in popularity. It is a short-season plant, reaching maturity in 85 to 100 days. A regular bag can cover an area of around 2 square meters.
