The efficacy and function of linseed oil and how to eat it
Flaxseed oil contains a lot of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (α linolenic acid), which can be converted into DHA and EPA in the body, and plays an important role in maintaining the blood lipid health of adults and the development of children's brain and vision.

More importantly, α linolenic acid is one of the main omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which is of great significance to maintain the balance between omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in diet.

Linseed oil contains a certain amount of lignans, which is considered as a phytoestrogen and has the function of regulating female endocrine.

How to eat: Mix a small amount of linseed oil with other vegetable oils and use it for ordinary cooking at home, such as stir-frying and cold salad, but it can't be used for frying.

manufacturing technique

1, squeezing method

(1) Hot pressing method: Oil crops are fried by high-temperature fire or steam, and then the oil is physically pressed, which is a relatively traditional pressing process with high oil yield.

(2) Cold pressing method: under the condition of low temperature, it is squeezed by huge pressure of physical machinery. Without the traditional high-temperature frying or steaming process, the oil is still distributed in the undeformed protein cells, which is rich in the inherent components of flaxseed.

2. Leaching method

The oil produced by leaching process is also called leaching oil, that is, the oil is leached with organic solvents (such as gasoline and ethanol). The leaching method is an oil-making process that uses solvent oil (No.6 light gasoline) to soak the oil raw materials and extract them at high temperature, so that the oil can be extracted.
