Notes

Tips About Flax Seed Oil

  • Oil should always be kept in the refrigerator in a dark bottle to maintain freshness.
  • Never cook with flax oil or heat it on the stove or in the microwave — this destroys the benefits of the oil.
  • As the oil sits over time, it loses its freshness, smelling and tasting stronger.
