ORIGINAL ALTAY Linaseemneõli is a cold-pressed flaxseed oil, so it is most suitable for cold use or for adding after cooking. Use it where you would like a mild nutty flavour and a smooth oil texture: salads, grain bowls, cottage cheese, cold sauces, or porridge that has already been cooked and cooled slightly.
A practical way to start is to add a small amount to foods you already eat, rather than using it as the only oil in your kitchen. For example, olive or sunflower oil may be more suitable for cooking, while flaxseed oil can be kept for finishing dishes where its taste and fatty acid profile are better preserved.
Because flaxseed oil contains delicate polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially omega-3 and omega-6, it is not intended as a high-heat cooking oil. Add it just before serving rather than during boiling, frying, roasting, or baking. It is a food oil and not a substitute for a balanced diet; if you have chronic conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take medication, consult a specialist before making significant dietary changes.
