About Flax seed oil

Flax seed oil, derived from pressed flax seeds, is a nutrient-rich oil prized for its high omega-3 fatty acid content, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which supports heart and brain health. This oil boasts a mild, nutty flavor and is commonly used in salad dressings, smoothies, and dips but should not be heated, as high temperatures can degrade its nutritional properties. Widely incorporated into diets worldwide, flax seed oil has origins tied to Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, where its seeds were historically cultivated. In addition to omega-3s, it contains vitamin E and antioxidants, providing anti-inflammatory and skin health benefits. However, flax seed oil lacks fiber and requires moderation due to its calorie density. Always choose cold-pressed and fresh versions to ensure maximum health benefits. Flax seed oil is a plant-based option for increasing essential fatty acids in the diet while supporting overall wellness.
