What is Abyssinian oil

Abyssinian mustard is a kind of common mustard and is intensively grown from the first third of the XX century, but was still actively used in cosmetology.

The Abyssinian mustard, known as the crab, is a beautiful tall bush (up to 1.3 m) with a lush "crown" of small white or yellow flowers. Mustard flowers give the seeds from which oil is extracted (about 1/3 of the total fruit volume).

It is interesting that the application finds not only vegetable oil, but also its cake. Macuha can not be used as a feed for livestock, but it is perfectly coped with water purification from impurities of heavy metals.

• α-linolenic acid - 7,1-8,5%;
