What it is
Organic flax oil is a vegetable oil pressed from the seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). The seeds are typically dried, cleaned, and then pressed to extract the oil. It is known for its high content of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid.
Why it's used
Flax oil is often used as a dietary supplement and as an ingredient in foods marketed for their health benefits. It can be found in salad dressings, smoothies, and some baked goods. Its mild, nutty flavor can complement various dishes.
