Positive effects of flaxseed oil
As far as omega-3 fatty acids are concerned flaxseed oil stands at the top of the list. Consisting of up to 70 percent of alpha-Linolenic acid there is hardly any other oil which can keep up with it. The effectiveness of flaxseed oil has already been confirmed by numerous studies. It suppresses inflammation, supports healthy blood clotting, widens blood vessels and regulates blood pressure. Whoever wants to help prevent thrombi, heart attacks or strokes regularly ingests flaxseed oil.
In addition omega-3 fatty acids are said to have a positive effect on the soul. Panic attacks and depression are eased by it.
Uses for cold-pressed flaxseed oil
"Liquid gold" is best served cold as heating destroys its sensitive fatty acids. It does not even need to be heated because flaxseed oil tastes simply wonderful when taken pure or dripped over finished dishes as the final touch. Its aroma is rustically nutty with light notes of hay. Traditionally flaxseed oil is served with good reason with boiled potatoes and curd cheese. Flaxseed oil can develop its effects especially well in combination with vegetable protein. One or two teaspoonfuls are enough to support the required daily intake of healthy fatty acids.
