Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between Flax Seed Oil and Linseed Oil?
Answer: Technically, they are the same oil extracted from Linum usitatissimum. However, the term "Flax Seed Oil" is used for Edible/Nutritional Grade oil (Cold Pressed, unrefined). "Linseed Oil" typically refers to Industrial Grade oil used for paints and wood treatment, which may be boiled or refined.
2. Is your oil suitable for wood treatment (Cricket Bats/Furniture)?
Answer: Yes. We supply Raw Linseed Oil (slow drying) and Double Boiled Linseed Oil (fast drying) specifically for wood polishing, cricket bat seasoning, and protecting furniture from moisture.
3. What is the Omega-3 percentage in your oil?
Answer: Our Edible Grade Cold Pressed Flax Oil contains a minimum of 50% to 55% Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), making it one of the most concentrated sources of vegetarian Omega-3 available.
4. Can I use this oil for frying?
Answer: No. Flax Seed Oil has a very low smoke point (107°C) and its healthy Omega-3 fats degrade rapidly under heat. It should only be used as a finishing oil (salads, dips) or taken as a supplement.
5. How should I store bulk Flax Oil?
Answer: Flax Oil is sensitive to heat and light (oxidation). We recommend storing barrels in a cool, dark warehouse (below 25°C). For opened containers, refrigeration is ideal to maintain freshness and prevent rancidity.
