Lallemantia oil, from the seeds of Lallemantia iberica, discovered at archeological sites in northern Greece.[52]
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lallemantia oil is a seed oil, extracted from the seeds of the Lallemantia iberica. It was discovered at a number of archeological sites in northern Greece, dating from the Bronze Age.[1] As the plant is not native to this region, the presence of this oil suggests that it was imported from further east. Lallemantia oil contains 68% linolenic acid, making it an unusually rich source, and of potential commercial interest.[2]
Lallemantia oil is a drying oil, and can be used as a substitute for linseed oil in this and other contexts.[3] The oil is also edible.[4]
