Proximate, fatty acid, and mineral composition of different flax species and cultivars were compared. Lipid content of wild flax was much lower than Sarı 85 and Vera cultivars. Protein content of wild flax was also much lower than Sarı 85 and Vera cultivars. However, moisture content of wild flax was much higher than Sarı 85 and Vera. Linolenik asit was the major fatty acid in all flax seeds with a different ratios. Considering the fatty acids, palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids showed significant difference (P<0.05) among the flaxseeds samples. Whereas, wild flax species and Sarı 85 cultivar contained the highest level of linoleic acid compare to Vera cultivar. Sarı 85 cultivar had highest n3:n6 ratio with a level of 4.1, and lowest ratio was observed in Vera cultivar. Amoung the macro elements, K, P, Mg, and Na were pre-dominant elements and Zn was the most abundant element in the microelements, in particular in wild flaxseed sample. The elements such as, P, Na, Ca, Zn, Ni and Pb in wild flaxseed were significantly different from Sarı 85 and Vera cultivars (P<0.05)
