Camelin Sativa~False Flax seed oil, German Sesame, Gold of Pleasure, etc.

Hi Sylla and all:

 

What I know of this oil may fill a bottle cap, but it has many names and has

been used since BC by hundreds of years to read the background.

 

It has up to 45% more Omega 3 fats and unique antioxidant properties that keep

it from going rancid as fast as other oils, especially Flax seed oil.

 

It can be used as a supplement, for cooking, or as a carrier oil. What I have

was produced in the USA and is Ex Virgin. Think it is normally cold pressed.

Grown in the PNW in the USA, I believe.

 

Supposedly tastes better than Flax and is why it is sometimes called Better

Flax. Looks a lot like Flax growing and probably came here in Flax seed

supplies.

 

Some say it has a flowery smell, but I think it can be one of the mildest oils

around other than fractionated coconut.

 

Since it is a seed oil, it should not cause problems for those with nut

allergies.

 

Speaking of which: Are there folks here that have both allergies: Nut oils and

seed oils?

 

Lastly, it is a member of the Brassicacae family which includes rape seed,

broccoli, etc.

 

Normally, I stick to a few oils instead of as many as I have in the past years.

Those are Fractionated Coconut for it's unlimited shelf life, and I adore a good

Organic Sunflower and use both by the gallons. Others I use in lesser quanities

like Tamanu, Camelina, some others as a formula needs. Never do I ever use EVOO

or Almond anymore due to racidity, no matter how much Vit. E or ROE you use, I

like for my money to go further than those can do for me. Cook with EVOO tho.

<grin>

 

Hope this helps a bit.

 

A most fragrant evening to you all,

deb

THANKS Deb

 

I had no idea!! sounds like the greatest source for omega-3 and full of other

stuff too! Wonder what it tastes like? sounds like an excellent nutrient to add

to the diet....I will have to look for some. Thank you for turning me onto this.
