Rashi, commenting on Gn. 4:3, but obviously anticipating v.5 [ _but for Cain and his offering he had no regard_ ]
writes:

>> 3 of the fruit of the soil
of the most inferior (Gen. Rabbah 22:5), and there is an Aggadah that states that it was flaxseed (Mid. Tan. Bereishith 9, Targum Jonathan).<<

I have the text of Gen. Rabbah, but I would be grateful if a list member could contribute the text of the Aggahah.

Regards and TIA,

Maurice
