Claim:
1. Extracted lipid from Brassica or Aradidopsis seeds, whose total fatty acid content comprises (a) a total monounsaturated fatty acid content which comprises oleic acid, (b) a total saturated fatty acid content which comprises palmitic acid and, if present, myristic acid (C14:0), (c) a total ω6 fatty acid content which comprises linoleic acid (LA), (d) a ω3 fatty acid content, (e) less than 1% myristic acid (C14:0), and (f) less than 4% eicosatrienoic acid (ETrA), wherein (i) a level of DHA between 7% and 20% is present in the total fatty acid content of the extracted lipid, wherein at least 70% of the DHA is esterified at the sn-1 or sn-3 position of triacylglycerol (TAG), (ii) a level of palmitic acid between 2% and 16% is present in the total fatty acid content of the extracted lipid, (iii) a level of linoleic acid (LA) between 4% and 35% is present in the total fatty acid content of the extracted lipid, (iv) the total saturated fatty acid content of the extracted lipid is between 4% and 25% of the total fatty acid content, (v) the ratio of the total ω6 fatty acid content to the ω3 fatty acid content in total of the extracted lipid is between 0.1 and 3.0, and (vi) at least 70% of the total fatty acid content of the extracted lipid is esterified in the form of TAG.
