Camelina oil composition
Fun fact! Camelina oil has a desirable 2:1 ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid content. The oil comprises 38% omega-3 fatty acids as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), and unlike flaxseed, which has a similarly high ALA content, camelina oil has a much longer shelf life due to high levels of gamma-tocopherol (vitamin E).
