Honesty
(Lunaria annua)
A flowering biennial native to the South West Asia. The plants grow to 90cm tall and produce broad, pointed oval leaves with white, pink and violet flowers.
​
The first commercial crop to be grown in the UK was in 2016 at Fairking, following successful crop trials.
Lunaria seed oil has a unique lipid composition. In addition to the more commonly available, skin-friendly Oleic Acid, it also contains around 25% of the rarer and more functional long chain Nervonic Acid. It is mainly used within cosmetics.
