Baume de Cocagne

A seed steeped in history

The pastel is an amazing biennial cruciferous whose leaves provide an exceptional blue. This boule de cocagne was once cultivated between Toulouse, Albi and Carcassonne, in the region of Lauragais, which was formerly called Pays de Cocagne. During the Renaissance, the pastel fields were so developed that François 1er and Catherine de Medici traveled to closely observe the cultivation of this plant generator of wealth, which only grew in the golden triangle.
At the time, the whole Europe was importing the pastel blue to dye fabrics and give a unique color to painters’ palettes.

A seed with many virtues

In the mid 90s, taking benefit from the revival of its cultivation, at the initiative of a cooperative farm, the Occitan Castelnaudary Cooperative Group, the researchers at the National School of Chemistry in Toulouse have discovered that the pastel seed possessed virtues to prevent aging of the skin. Indeed, the seed contains 30% of a rich oil, composed of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids, with revitalizing, diuretics and even antibiotics properties.

    I visited Albi a few years ago and while there I visited the Graine de Pastel shop and purchased the Graine de pastel hand cream that I liked very much. Can I purchase it on line? Thank you.
