1) What is the best way to take Omega Nutrition unrefined
oils?
The best way to take Omega Nutrition's unrefined oils is mixed
into our recipes such as salad dressings, blender drinks and drizzled over cooked
pasta.
2) Does Omega Nutrition make salad
dressings?
Unfortunately, Omega Nutrition does not make salad dressings
at this time but we do have an extensive set of dressing recipes
available for you to make.
3) How many servings of oil come in
your bottles?
Standard serving sizes are set at 1 Tablespoons to allow
consumers to compare with other brands. Serving yield with
1 Tablespoons is:
- 8 oz. = 16 servings
- 12 oz. = 24 servings
- 32 oz. = 64 servings
- Omega Nutrition now recommends only
1-2 tsp servings so the actual will be higher
4) How should Omega Nutrition unrefined oils be stored?
Most Omega Nutrition Oils should be refrigerated, but to
ensure proper storage of your oil simply look to the Omega
Nutrition label for storage directions. You may freeze to
extend its shelf life. Many people keep their Flax Seed Oil in
the freezer at all times, however, once the bottle is open
the oil will start to oxidize. Heat, light and oxygen naturally
degrade oil. Oils high in monounsaturated fats and saturated
fats are more heat stable than delicate polyunsaturated fats.
5) Do you keep your oils refrigerated
while shipping, especially in summer?
Due to the short transit times and our protective bottling
process we have found that the quality of our flax oil remains
stable in transit without refrigeration.
6) Does heat affect oil?
Heat, light and oxygen naturally degrade oil. Oils high in
monounsaturated fats and saturated fats are more heat stable
than delicate polyunsaturated fats. See the question on what
oils are best for cooking and baking below for an oil usage
temperature range.
7) What are the best oils for cooking and
baking?
Oils high in monounsaturated fats and saturated fats are more
heat stable than delicate polyunsaturated fats. Our culinary
oils can be broken into categories of low, medium and high heat.
