Wellbear Flaxseed Oil Cold Pressed is a 100% oil from common flax seeds (Linum usitatissimum), cold-pressed, unrefined and unfiltered in a Polish oil mill.

About the product

Wellbear Flaxseed Oil Cold Pressed is a 100% oil from common flax seeds (Linum usitatissimum), cold-pressed in a Polish oil mill. The seeds come from domestic crops, and pressing takes place without heating the raw material.

The oil is unrefined and unfiltered, which explains its golden-yellow colour, slightly tangy aroma, bitter-nutty taste and the natural sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Shake well before use. Shade and flavour intensity vary between batches of seeds - this is normal for an oil without refining. The bottle is dark and thick-walled to limit light exposure.

• 100% flaxseed oil - single ingredient, pressed in Poland
• Cold-pressed - no heat treatment during production
• Unrefined and unfiltered - hence the colour, taste and natural sediment
• No preservatives or additives

Intended use

An oil for dishes served cold: salads and coleslaws, lemon dressings, cottage cheese and vegetable spreads, drizzled over boiled potatoes or groats, smoothies and yoghurt. Add to cooked dishes only after they have cooled down. Not suitable for frying or baking - high temperatures degrade the polyunsaturated fatty acids. Vegan. Not for people with a flax allergy.

How to use

1 tablespoon (12 g) a day - straight from the spoon, stirred into a morning smoothie or yoghurt, or added to a dish just before serving. The slightly bitter aftertaste softens when combined with honey, plain yoghurt or lemon juice, so it is worth starting with a smaller amount. For children over 3 years old, use smaller amounts and consult a paediatrician beforehand. The oil is also sometimes used topically, for skin and hair care.

Storage

Before opening, store in a cool, dark place. After opening, keep refrigerated (4-10°C) and use within one month - at this bottle size it is worth planning your use, as flaxseed oil oxidises faster than other vegetable oils under the influence of light, heat and air. Keep the bottle tightly closed.
