Europe from at least Stone Age times. It is native to Eastern Europe and Southwest Asia, where wild weedy forms survive; other weedy types have evolved and are found in cereal and flax crops. The developed crop form was widely grown across Europe until the 1 950s. The seed yields an oil which is of excellent nutritional quality and was also used as an illuminant and for cosmetic purposes, while the stems were utilised for making brushes, packaging, and thatching temporary buildings. There were additional uses of the green crop as fodder and of the seed for fattening poultry, while the protein-rich press cake was a valued livestock food. Small areas have been grown in recent years for use in the soap and cosmetic industries and as a constituent of birdseed; the crop has recently been the subject of experiments in Europe and Canada to assess its future potential.
