Flaxseed Oil

[{"selector":"#anim-4acdc71d-aa96-48bb-96c7-5e2d2685d688","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-722fcd52-5fc2-4379-a2ad-6d84d91ee749","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 119.19190%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-10b0ed76-729f-429c-9089-50afe381ee28","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cdf3ef68-b686-4d24-936d-c1c8b3bd232c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 778.39540%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Flaxseed oil is exceptionally rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid. 1 tbs contains over 7 gm of ALA. However, it has a low smoke point, making it unsuitable for high-heat cooking. It's best used in salad dressings or drizzled over finished dishes. Photo Credit: Shutterstock
