If you use this wonderful, amazing oil there is a special secret to it! I discovered this a while back and I’m still blown away by it every time I use this oil.
If you get this oil and use it on your food (I use it not just on salad but love it on rice and other things as well) you will of course enjoy it a lot. I has an excellent flavor and is so healthy for you. I find it especially complements brown rice.
But there’s a secret about it! At the bottom of every bottle the flaxseed solids congeal into a hard mass which unfortunately doesn’t really get mixed in with the oil even you if shake it very hard. You have to use an object – I recommend using a disposable wooden chopstick since the solid mass can be hard enough that it might break a good chopstick.
Take the cap off the bottle and put the chopstick all the way into the bottle and move it around and you’ll notice the congealed flaxseed solids at the bottom. Move the stick around to break up the solids really well. Put the cap back on and shake the bottle really well.
Now take the cap back off – because you don’t want the narrow nozzle on the cap to restrict the flow of the solids – and pour some onto your food. You’ll notice the really dark color of the flaxseed solids. The flavor of of it is, to me, absolutely blissful. Flaxseed is truly a gift from God, a form of abundance that we humans have been blessed with. Its like the universe saying “I love you!”.
So if you use flaxseed oil, don’t just throw the bottle away when you think it’s finished. Use a chopstick and make sure that you’re not throwing away the precious flaxseed solid at the bottom of the bottle. You can even pour some oil from the top of a new bottle into an old one prior to stirring up the flaxseed solids with a chopstick to make sure you get every last precious bit.
Flaxseed solids. Love it!
