Crambe oil

Crambe oil is an inedible seed oil, extracted from the seeds of the Crambe abyssinica, a multibranched annual plant that is native to the Ethiopian Highlands also known as Abyssinia.

[1] The oil has been shown to consist of 55-60% erucic acid.

The Australian Farm Diversification Information Service writes: Erucic acid is traditionally derived from older varieties of rapeseed.

The market for crambe oil is particularly developed in the United States.
