Minor oilseeds refer to a variety of plant seeds that are not as commonly grown and used for oil production compared to major crops like soybean and canola. These lesser-known oilseeds offer an array of potential health benefits while also having less impact on the environment and biodiversity. Some examples of minor oilseeds include chia, camelina, and hemp seeds, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein. Other synonyms for minor oilseeds include unconventional oilseeds, specialty oilseeds, and alternative oilseeds. Incorporating these seeds in our diets and promoting their cultivation can help diversify the food system and support sustainable agriculture.
