Flax oil

by **KIB** » Fri Feb 22, 2008 9:45 am

Got some nice flax oil. Gonna pour it on my dry curd cottage cheese, get some konbu and sesame on there... Tasty bedtime snack.
Is there an optimum time/way to eat flax oil? I know I'm not supposed to heat it, and I'm keeping it in the freezer to prolong the shelf life.
Anything else?

mix it into the cheese, it'll do it's job about 10 times better then. it becomes water soluble then and will love you forever when that rank taste ain't so bad

and sorry it mix's into yogurt, as well, quark in-particular is top notch with flax oil.

I've been adding flax seeds to my cottage cheese. Is this bad/pointless? If it's useful, what quantity of seeds should I be using?

i don't think it becomes water soluble like the oil does, but there good few you so add away

Flax oil is unstable. Check the expiration date, only lasts for some weeks. Stick to flax seeds healthier.

I use flax meal - great for oatmeal etc. and adding into items for baking too. Stays in the fridge just fine too.

Flax oil tastes disgusting lol, flax seed is a good replacement indeed.

@oi_joe: The water-soluble tip is interesting. Thanks for that. I'll keep pouring it on that cottage cheese then.
@Mehdi: Yeah, the lable says 8 weeks. The guys at the store recommended the freezer to prolong it a bit.
@jdurando: Flax meal seems to be more easily digestible. Some info suggests that the seeds can go right through you undigested. I put a spoon of flax meal in my post-workout shakes.
@Victor and oi_joe: Flax oil a little bitter? Diddums! Shuddup and take yer medicine!

Ive used flax oil in my oatmeal for about 3 months, I like it, for about one month Ive also added flax meal, and today I picked up some flax seeds, I hear that falx oil is absorbed best tho.
