What it is
Flax oil is extracted from the seeds of the flax plant. Cold-pressed flax oil is made without heat, which is thought to preserve its nutritional qualities. It is a source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of plant-based omega-3 fatty acid.
Why it's used
Flax oil is used as a nutritional ingredient, particularly in plant-based foods, to add omega-3 fatty acids. It can also contribute to the texture and mouthfeel of products like plant-based milks and cheeses. It is often found in beverages and dairy alternatives.
Health notes
Flaxseed oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of ALA, an essential fatty acid. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flaxseed oil and its components. Research suggests ALA may support heart health, though evidence is mixed on its direct impact on disease prevention at typical dietary intakes.
Allergen info
Flax oil is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
