Our own Mountain of Gold....
Out at Blackbrush on Jalama Road...Some fools at the turn of the century (no not this one, the Last one) thought mustard farms were the answer -- reading in the 1907 Lompoc Record about an upcoming bumper crop. There were some 14,000 acres planted, as Lompoc supplied 90% of the nations supply.
But as it's an edible oil, a seed condiment (huge in curry), pickling agent, and a great oil cake to feed cattle it does a lot.
BUT WAIT - there's MORE:
The health benefits are said to include: Helps control asthma symptoms ( ?? with the allergies it gives me ??); Prevents gastrointestinal cancer; Relieves arthritic and muscle pain, Slows Aging, Lowers cholesterol AND stimulates hair growth-- who could ask for anything else ?
