Flaxseed Oil

Flaxseed Oil

Flaxseed oil, also known as linseed oil, is extracted from the seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). Renowned for its rich content of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), flaxseed oil is considered one of the healthiest oils for both culinary and medicinal purposes. It has a mild, nutty flavor and is most commonly used in raw applications such as salad dressings, smoothies, and drizzling over dishes. Due to its delicate nature, flaxseed oil is not recommended for high-heat cooking but can be used in recipes requiring cold or low-heat applications.
