Can this oil be used for frying? — Flaxseed Oil with Maral Root 100 ml - Alteja

Unrefined flaxseed oil has a low smoke point, so when heated it breaks down quickly and can form unwanted compounds. It is not recommended for frying, baking or stewing.

The best option is to add the oil to dishes that are already ready: dress salads of fresh vegetables with it, drizzle it over warm porridge or boiled potatoes, or mix it with cottage cheese. In this format the unrefined product reveals its characteristic taste and aroma, which come from the linseed base and the maral root.

If you are used to neutral refined oils, the taste of this product may seem unusual at first, since the herbal, slightly bitter note of leuzea is clearly noticeable. It is sensible to start with a small amount and gradually find the dishes in which you enjoy this accent.
