flaxseed oil and flaxseed oil are two very common oils in daily life. Their names are also very similar. What are the differences between the two oils and which is healthier?
Traditional sesame oil:
In the north, local people in Inner Mongolia, Gansu and Ningxia call flaxseed flaxseed. Although flaxseed oil and flaxseed oil are pressed with flaxseed, there are obvious differences in technology.
The biggest difference is that flaxseed oil needs to be fried before pressing, while flaxseed oil is pressed directly to retain the content of linolenic acid.
Traditional sesame oil eating method:
In the local area, sesame oil is usually used for cooking, frying and making moon cakes. It is the same as ordinary edible oil. Now ask the local people what linseed oil is. Many people don't know that they have grown up with linseed oil. This is because many people don't realize what the linolenic acid in linseed oil is and how to eat it without damaging nutrition, because that's how they eat linseed oil for generations.
How to eat flaxseed oil:
Recently, people began to pay attention to the nutritional value of linolenic acid. A large amount of linolenic acid was found in flaxseed. Low temperature cold pressing technology was adopted to replace the traditional hot pressing method to retain the nutritional value of linolenic acid.
The smoke point of linolenic acid is 107 degrees. If it exceeds 70 degrees, it will be damaged, so it is recommended to cook at low temperature. As you mentioned in the question, when you cook dumplings with flaxseed oil, because the boiling temperature of the water is 100 degrees, the temperature is much lower than that when you cook directly, and the damage to linolenic acid is much less.
