Linseed oil, commonly known as flaxseed oil, is derived from ripe seeds of the flax plant and is celebrated for its nutritional benefits. Originating from the Mediterranean and Western Asia, it has found its place in global cuisines and wellness practices. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), it supports heart health, reduces inflammation, and boosts brain function. Linseed oil also provides vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant. Typically used in salad dressings or consumed directly as a supplement, it’s not suitable for cooking due to its low smoke point. While nutritionally potent, it’s calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation. Its fragile nature necessitates proper storage in airtight containers in cool, dark places to prevent oxidation. Linseed oil’s natural properties make it a valuable addition to any diet prioritizing healthy fats and wellness.
