NUTRITIONAL VALUE AND COMPOSITION OF FLAX

THE IMPORTANCE OF LINSEED OIL ... OMEGA 3 AND OMEGA 6

The balanced presence between Omega 3 and Omega 6 allows the production of prostaglandins, which are biologically very active and important bodies that act as removers of excess sodium in the kidneys, thus decreasing fluid retention, which alleviates the symptoms of the period premenstrual. The high rate of Omega 3 makes flaxseed a health preventive food, being an important antioxidant and cell renewal agent.

Flaxseed has about 39% oil in its composition. Its oil is one of nature's richest omega 3 foods (about 57%) and omega 6. The ideal ratio between omega 3 and omega 6 is 1: 4 respectively, while flaxseed vegetable oil has a ratio of 1: 3, very close to the ideal.

Linseed oil has mostly polyunsaturated fats not produced by the body.

See the percentage of fat in flaxseed oil:

Its composition also has a high rate of soluble fibers (ideal as a laxative and aid in digestion), vitamins B1, B2, C, E, carotene, iron, zinc, some amount of potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and calcium.
Vitamin E helps in cell function, so it precludes premature aging and degenerative diseases.

There is linseed oil on the market that is cold pressed and does not undergo a refinement process. Linseed oil is considered by many to be a functional food, because in addition to having high caloric value increasing energy production, it is also very rich in vitamins, and because it has a high amount of vitamin E Linseed oil is the main source of acid alpha-linolenic acid (fat belonging to the omega-3 fatty acid family), lignan, linoleic acid and vitamin. Due to the fact that it is extracted from its seeds by cold compression, its functional activity is preserved, but it does not offer the same benefit as the seed because we separate the oil from the other components of this seed, we lose the synergy of its integral composition. Isolated oil, a strong anti-inflammatory, is only indicated for cases under medical guidance,
The isolated oil is also very suitable for external treatments such as skin, joints and scalp.

How to Use: It can be used to season salads, cold dishes, in food preparation, in this case it is advisable to add the oils as late as possible to reduce exposure to heat, or pure in a tablespoon before meals.
