Flaxseed oil is made from flaxseed, which belongs to Flaxseed family, and is also called flax oil, moon oil and smart oil. When Zhang Qian went to the western regions in Han Dynasty, he brought flax back to China via the Silk Road. The natural ecological environment in northwest China, such as balanced temperature difference between day and night, fertile soil and abundant sunshine, is most suitable for the cultivation of flax and other special oil crops. It belongs to the national industrial pollution-free zone and is located in Xinjiang and Gansu in northwest China. Linseed oil production in Inner Mongolia and other places is relatively high. With the improvement of modern living standards, more and more people pay attention to health preservation, and linseed oil has become an indispensable part of the family. Let's learn about linseed oil together.

Production technology of linseed oil

Flaxseed oil is squeezed by cold pressing method, also known as "physical pressing method". The effective components in flaxseed, such as linolenic acid, linoleic acid, protein, dietary fiber, vitamins and trace elements, are retained to the greatest extent, which is more suitable for human health care.

Advantages of adopting cold pressing method:

1, which can effectively avoid the degradation of oil and sugar substances in high temperature pressing;

2, effectively preventing high temperature from damaging linolenic acid in linseed oil, effectively retaining nutritional components, and being easier for human body to absorb and supplement nutrition;

3, the nutritional components in flaxseed are retained, the taste is refreshing and not greasy, and the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids is rich;

Nutritional value and efficacy

1, cold pressed linseed oil is rich in linolenic acid, amino acids, vitamin E and other mineral elements, which is the most effective way to supplement linolenic acid;

Matters needing attention in cooking

Suitable cooking methods: flaxseed oil has high nutritional value, but low smoke point, and it is very easy to smoke when heated, so it is suitable for cold dishes; However, if linseed oil (a small amount) is mixed with other vegetable oils (a large amount), it can be used for cooking, but pay attention to controlling the oil temperature when cooking, and it should not be too high (it is recommended to put the vegetables quickly when the cold oil or oil in the hot pot surges or waves at the bottom of the pot); Not suitable for frying.
