ABSTRACT Lunaria annua is an underexplored crop with promising potential for use in various industries: food, oil etc. It grows rapidly, has low maintenance and high resistance to pathogens, which makes it a promising crop for sustainable cultivation. Herein, we investigated nutritional value, phenolic profile, and bioactive properties of L. annua seeds collected in the wild. The results we obtained indicate that seeds of L. annua have high energy value (406.6 kcal/100 g dw), with high share of carbohydrates (65.2 g/100 g dw), followed by proteins (26.47 g/100 g dw) and fat (4.46 g/100 g dw). Free sugar analysis showed presence of fructose, glucose and sucrose (0.77 g, 0.189 g and 3.85 g/100 g dw, respectively). Oxalic and malic acid were quantified <1.0 g/100 g dw and fumaric acid only in trace. Monounsaturated fatty acids were predominant over polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids (erucic, nervonic and oleic acid were dominant).
