Camelina meal is derived from the seeds of Camelina sativa. We also offer Camelina extra virgin oil. Camelina meal has various uses, but since we cater mainly to makers of toiletries and soaps, we’d like to mention its use in this genre. When added to soap or skin scrubs, the meal acts as a skin defoliant and opens up the pores. Below are other uses for camelina meal, please do your own research before you feed this meal to animals or humans.

From Purdue Univ.: Camelina meal is comparable to soybean meal, containing 45 to 47% crude protein and 10 to 11% fiber (Korsrud et al. 1978). Camelina has been fed to wild (Fogelfors 1984) or caged (Mabberly 1987) birds, and this is one potential use. Other potential uses include applications as an ornamental, a cover or smother crop, a border row for experimental field plots, or in dried flower arrangements (Robinson 1987).

The meal is fed to poultry, cattle, horses including racehorses and goats. Racehorse trainers prefer camelina's lower glucosinolate content, which is considerably less than other oilseed-based meal. Camelina meal is very similar to soya bean meal and its nutritional properties are better than good quality stockfeed - it has 45 per cent protein and 10 to 11 per cent fibre.
