Camelina
3,55 $
Camelina, also known under many other names such as gold-of-pleasure or false flax, was once grown to feed both humans and animals in Europe. This herbaceous annual has actually been used to produce fodder and oil for over 3000 years. It can also be used as green manure.
More and more, camelina is regaining popularity for various reasons. The oil produced from its seeds is rich in omega-3, making it a favorite in health stores. Its yellow flowers are great for pollinators. Its strong taproot is very helpful for working compacted soils.
On top of it all, you can use it to make a biodegradable broom!
