Lallemantia oil

Lallemantia oil is a seed oil, extracted from the seeds of the Lallemantia iberica.

It contains 68% linolenic acid, making it an unusually rich source, and of potential commercial interest.

[1] Lallemantia oil has been discovered at a number of archeological sites in northern Greece, dating from the Bronze Age.

[2] As the plant is not native to this region, the presence of this oil suggests that it was imported from further east.
