How to Take Flaxseed Oil

How to take flaxseed oil

Flaxseed oil, also known as linseed oil, is a traditional edible oil and has been valued for its high content of omega-3 fatty acids (approx. 50 g per 100 g) for decades. The health benefits of the oil are uncontested but how can you add it to your diet?

There are numerous ways to take flaxseed oil:

  • enjoy straight from the spoon
  • add to curd, yogurt or muesli
  • with savoury herb dip and potatoes in their skins
  • add to salad dressing
  • as supplement for smoothies, fruit or vegetable juices
  • with steamed vegetables
  • add to carot salad or carot juice

Flaxseed oil should not be heated because it is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, especially alpha-linolenic acid, which is very sensitive to temperature. However, you can use it for short steaming of vegetables but not for frying or deep-frying.

Flaxseed oil fresh from the mill

For our flaxseed oil, we only process high-quality organic flaxseeds in small batches which leads to a mild and nutty flavor of our product. Therefore, you can even enjoy a tablespoon of our flaxseed oil on its own. We recommend 1-2 tablespoons per day in order to cover the required amount of omega-3 fatty acids for an adult.
