Performance and Competitiveness for ID Grain varieties

Linum usitatissimum, Linaceae (Linaceae)

Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, linseed is valued in human food in the form of whole seeds, flours and oils.

Linseed oil is also incorporated into various applications ranging from cosmetics to industrial varnishes.

In animal feed, it is used in the form of oilcakes for its nutritional benefits.

Finally, its fibers are used as bio-based material in the textile industry and for thermal insulation.

Linseed cultivation is interesting for its ability to improve soil structure and for its low input requirements. It facilitates weed control in cereals or rapeseed by creating a break in crop rotations.

Furthermore, it adapts perfectly to temperate climates and diverse crop rotations, contributing to a more resilient and sustainable plant production.

Brown linseed is the most widely cultivated type in France and Europe, with sowing occurring either in autumn or spring.
Yellow linseed is primarily used for its seed in human consumption.
