Hetao Flaxseed

　　Flaxseed, also known as linseed, is one of the important oil-producing cash crops in the Hetao region. Flaxseeds have a higher oil content compared to other oil crops, generally ranging from 36.5% to 49.5%, making them ideal for producing flaxseed oil. Flaxseed oil boasts a unique flavor, rich aroma, and clear oil quality, qualifying it as a premium edible oil. In addition, it has a wide range of uses in industries such as paint, pigments, leather, and rubber. The leftover oil cake after flaxseed pressing contains 33.3% protein and 8.6% fat, serving as a highly nutritious feed for poultry and livestock. (Linhe)
