Unrefined, cold pressed
Why cold pressed?
Oil that is cold pressed has been mechanically extracted from the seed using a press. No solvents (chemicals) have been used in the process, thus preserving the purity of all the nutrients, particularly the essential fatty acids oils are naturally rich in.
Why unrefined?
Unlike processed cooking oils, which need to go through at least 6 refining phases, cold pressed oils are naturally pure and do not need to go through a single refining process.
Granum Flaxseed Oil is an unrefined vegetable oil obtained by cold press extraction of unhulled flaxseed on a screw press. Although flaxseed is one of the oldest cultivated crops, it is only in the past decades that it is once again enjoying the popularity it so richly deserves.
Uses: Can be drizzled on salads, added to smoothies or consumed plain (1-2 tablespoons a day). Many nutritionists recommend taking it with foods rich in protein (according to the Budwig protocol it is best consumed with cottage cheese).
Once opened should be kept in the fridge in its original packaging.
Ingredients: 100% flaxseed oil
Allergen advice: May contain traces of sesame seeds and nuts.
