Lariciresinol is a lignan, i.e., a type of phenylpropanoids. It is the precursor to enterolignans by the action of gut microflora. Enterolignans are of interest because they are speculated to exhibit beneficial medicinal properties.

Occurrence

In food, it is found in sesame seeds and in Brassica vegetables.[1] It is also found in the bark and wood of white fir (Abies alba).[2]
