Country of origin: non-EU
Description

Organic linseed oil is cold-pressed and unrefined.

The oil obtained from linseed varieties (Linum usitatissimum) with high linoleic content is a yellowish oil with a characteristic nutty flavour. (A bitter taste is not a sign of oil deterioration.) Thanks to the cold-pressing method, the oil retains all its valuable properties. Linseed oil is characterised by a high content of Omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid ALA). Omega-3 fatty acids, which belong to the family of essential fatty acids (EFAs), are essential for the body and should be consumed as part of a balanced diet.

Properties of Olandia Mild Linseed Oil:

– The unsaturated fatty acids in linseed oil are involved in the building of cell membranes, supporting overall body development and health.

– Omega-3 acids support the development of the nervous system (in children, a deficiency of these acids causes concentration problems, motor dysfunction, dyslexia and behavioural disorders). An adequate supply of omega-3 reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease).

– The omega-3 acids and vitamin E in the oil support the treatment of allergic and autoimmune diseases (lupus, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis).

– Unsaturated fatty acids help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels and have a positive effect on the circulatory system.

– The high phytoestrogens in linseed oil support hormone production and may help to alleviate the symptoms of premenstrual disorders and menopause.

– Because of its properties, linseed oil is ideal for external use as an ingredient in cosmetics or creams, masks and conditioners. Fatty acids and vitamin E nourish, restore elasticity and strengthen skin and hair.

Linseed oil should only be used cold!

It can be used directly to supplement omega-3 acids or as a food supplement. Great as an ingredient/additive to salads, sauces and cooked vegetables. It’s also great on top of boiled potatoes, sticks, rice or dumplings.

Linseed oil is also a valuable natural cosmetic – it can be used directly on the skin and hair, or as an additive to finished cosmetics.

It is a high quality cold-pressed linseed oil that complies with all organic farming and production rules.
