Delicious mixed into your food, and can enhance flavour by adding a creaminess to food. Drizzle over hot vegetables. Use to mash potatoes instead of butter or milk. Mix into soups or stews (after cooking is finished). Add to porridge. Blend into smoothies with one of our Flax Fibre range.

Storage & Cautions

Storage: 

Flax Original will remain fresh and tasty in the fridge for up to 12 weeks.  You can place them into the freezer when purchased, as this suspends the shelf life which will kick back in once you take it out to use.

Cautions:

Flax Original can be used on cold, warm and hot foods just prior to serving, but should never be cooked or fried as this destroys their health-giving properties of this delicate oil.   Never reheat food containing Flax Original.
