Harakeke seeds and oil are a resource that has not been investigated in detail. The seeds contain 20% oil which contains 70.9% linoleic acid (C18:2). The seed composition of 25 different cultivars of harakeke were also characterised. In addition, bulk samples of harvested in 2004 and 2005 were stored until 2006 to evaluate storage effects on seed composition. The linoleic content ranged from 67.3 to 70.9% and the oleic acid content ranged from 12.1 to 21.7%. The fatty acid content remained constant during storage while the total tocopherol and total phytosterol content were considerably reduced during storage.
