Oilseed plant seedoil which is Brassica napus or Camelina sativa seedoil obtained from seed harvested from a population of at least 3,000 Brassica napus or Camelina sativa, respectively, plants grown in a field, the seedoil comprising a total fatty acid content which comprises fatty acids in an esterified form, the total fatty acid content comprising oleic acid, palmitic acid, ω6 polyunsaturated fatty acids which comprise linoleic acid (LA) and γ-linolenic acid (GLA), 03 polyunsaturated fatty acids which comprise α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), stearidonic acid (SDA) and eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA), wherein the level of palmitic acid in the total fatty acid content of the seedoil is between 2% and 16% by weight, wherein myristic acid (C14:
- 0) is either absent or is present in the seedoil at a level of less than 1% by weight of the total fatty acid content of the seedoil, and wherein at least 70% of the DPA esterified in the form of triacylglycerols (TAG) in the seedoil is in the sn-1 or sn-3 position of the TAG.
