Brassica carinata (Brassica carinata)
Description
“Pet poisonous” – Toxic parts: seeds Brassica carinata (Ethiopian rape, Ethiopian mustard, Assinian mustard) is a member of the genus Brassica. It is believed to be a hybrid between Brassica nigra and Brassica oleracea. Although Brassica carinata is cultivated as an oilseed crop in Ethiopia, it has high levels of undesirable glucosinolates and erucic acid. The closely related Brassica napus (Rapeseed) is considered a better oilseed crop in comparison.
