About Oil, flaxseed, contains added sliced flaxseed
Derived from the seeds of the flax plant, this oil is prized for its high content of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid that supports heart health and helps reduce inflammation. It's also rich in lignans, which have antioxidant properties and may contribute to hormonal balance. Because it contains no protein or carbohydrates, it's an excellent source of pure fat for those following low-carb or ketogenic diets. However, it's extremely calorie-dense, so portion control is important to avoid excess calorie intake. Since it's not a significant source of fiber, pairing it with fiber-rich foods can help support digestive health.
This oil is best used cold or in low-heat applications, as high temperatures can degrade its delicate fatty acids and diminish its nutritional value. It's a popular addition to salad dressings, smoothies, and drizzled over cooked grains or vegetables for a nutty flavor. Some people also use it as a supplement, taking it by the spoonful or blending it into beverages. Because it's highly perishable, it should be stored in a cool, dark place or refrigerated to preserve freshness and prevent rancidity.
