I hear a lot about flax seed oil. What is it really and what do you use it on? Do you cook with it in place of regular veggie oiL?

*DO NOT COOK WITH FLAX SEED OIL!*

It is a vegetarian form of the healthy EFA's made from flax seeds.

You can mix it in your shake, yogurt, or just take it by the spoonful.

but *DO NOT COOK WITH IT*

Keep it refrigerated.

It will spoil get rancid if it is stored in room temperature or hotter or exposed to heat (i.e. cooking)
