Description
Linseed contains up to 48% of fatty fragrant oil.
Despite this outstanding fact, in our country linseed had been used for many years only for technical oil and high-quality drying oil for painters.
As for traditions of producing edible oil, they were fully lost. However, many centuries ago our ancestors cooked festive dishes on linseed and added it to pastry for special flavor.
