Because the oil is cold‑pressed and not refined, it keeps the natural fatty‑acid profile of the seed and has a mild nutty taste.
It is intended for cold use only; heating can damage the delicate omega‑3 fats.
Typical ways to incorporate it:
- Stir 1 – 2 teaspoons into a salad dressing or drizzle over finished salads.
- Mix 1 – 2 teaspoons into cottage cheese or yogurt for a creamy boost.
- Add a teaspoon to warm porridge or oatmeal after cooking, stirring well.
- Blend a tablespoon into smoothies or shakes.
- Drizzle over steamed or boiled vegetables just before serving.
Start with a small amount (about 5 ml) and adjust to your taste and the rest of your meal plan. Since it is a food oil, you can use it as often as you like, keeping total fat intake within your overall dietary goals.
