Flaxseed Oil

Flaxseed Oil

Everyday

Flaxseed oil is a cold-pressed plant oil extracted from flaxseeds, renowned for having the highest natural concentration of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid. With a low smoke point, it is unsuitable for cooking but widely used raw in dressings, smoothies, or supplements to support heart and brain health. This oil oxidizes rapidly, requiring refrigeration to preserve its nutritional integrity and prevent rancidity.
