Crambe Abyssinica is a little known but incredibly useful plant.  Originating in the Mediterranean region and parts of eastern Africa, this hardy plant produces a seed oil which has some very unique properties. With a highly biodegradable profile, this oil has been used as a natural substitute for synthetic mineral oils. Crambe Abyssinica has actually been grown in the UK for many years, and is giving rapeseed oil a run for its money in terms of high essential fatty acid content!
