Subject: Is Your Flaxseed Rancid?
A couple of years ago, all things flax (flax seeds, ground flax, and flaxseed oil) became very popular. And with good reason; the little seeds contain a wealth of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. However, what few people know is that once flax goes rancid, it degrades the health profile and alters the taste, aroma, and appearance of the seeds and oil. In fact, flax is sensitive to heat (it starts breaking down at 225 degrees Fahrenheit) and starts oxidizing if it’s exposed to light after only a few hours.
Key Takeaways:
