History of flax:

There are about 200 species of the Central Asian flax plant. The fibre of wild flax was also used by prehistoric man as a raw material for ropes and twine. The 34,000-year-old flax fibre found in a Georgian cave bears witness to this. It was also a well-known raw material in the lives of the Egyptians, Greeks and Indians. And the Romans grew it primarily to make clothes. Its spread to Europe dates back to the Napoleonic Wars, when textile raw materials were prevented from being imported from overseas.

The Slavic origin of the word "flax" suggests that the Hungarians learned to process flax from the peoples of the Carpathian Basin. In Hungary, flax remains have been found in Tolna County. It was also used as food, medicine and as a raw material for linen. It is still one of the most important ingredients in Silesian cuisine.

Belgium, Argentina, Morocco and India are the leading countries in the cultivation of flax. In addition to its use in the clothing industry, its role in food has become increasingly important.

Flaxseed oil in the kitchen:

The seeds of this blue-flowering annual plant are used to extract a clear oil with a slightly bitter taste, which is a phenomenal flavouring for cold dishes, pies and vegetables.

Use Nature Cookta Flaxseed Oil in salads with cauliflower, broccoli, arugula or Swiss chard. An excellent ingredient for dressings, smoothies, smoothie-maker recipes. Use it in fruit breads and Christmas logs for an even more delicious flavour.

Flaxseed oil consumption is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle and a varied, balanced diet.

Keep in a dry, cool place!
