Camelina sativa is also known as gold-of-pleasure, false flax, or more commonly camelina. A high concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids levels compared to Omega-6 fatty acids can be found in the camelina seed. With its high Omega-3 level, camelina seed is an excellent source of both oil and protein meal, especially when compared to other vegetable oil sources.
Camelina oil is very high in vitamin E content. Because of the oil's high content of natural antioxidants the oil is more stable and more resistant to oxidation and rancidity when compared to other oils such as flax.
This oil is light gold in colour and has a natural, slightly nutty aroma. Its unique flavour and functionality firmly establish itself as a culinary oil, grown right in Saskatchewan.
