Description
A semidrying oil expressed from the seeds of lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa and Lactuca serriola) native to the Mediterranean region. Lettuce oil contains linoleic acid (51.1-56.9%), oleic acid (37.6-40.2%), palmitic acid (1.9-4.3%), and stearic acid (1.3-4.1%) (Serpico and White 2000). The oil may have been used in ancient Egypt for cooking.
