Echiumolie is afkomstig van de zaden van Echium plantagineum, een kruidachtige plant van de familie van de ruwbladigen (boraginaceae). Hiertoe behoren ook het meer bekende slangenkruid (E. vulgare) en de twee traditionele geneeskrachtige kruiden smeerwortel (Symphytum officinale) en komkommerkruid (Borago officinales). Echiumolie is een eetbare olie die rijk is aan omega-3- en omega-6-vetzuren.
