flaxseed oil
Plant-based omega supplement
Flaxseed oil is oil pressed from the seeds of the flax plant, valued for its high omega-3 fatty acid content.
It appears in health food stores as a nutritional supplement and in hardware stores as linseed oil—the same substance under a different name—used to finish wood and condition leather.
The oil goes rancid quickly and shouldn't be heated.
