Re: cold pressed flax seed
The product is fine but I didn't see any mention of refrigeration. If
the oil is not kept refrigerated, the omega-3s are rapidly lost. I
don't know the difference in shelf life between room temp and
refrigerated before the bottle is opened, and it likely depends on
whether it is evacuated of air before sealing or not, but once opened
you have to keep it refrigerated and all cold pressed oil I've ever
seen for sale was also refrigerated in the stores.
P.S. If they try to tell you their oil is stable at room temperature,
ask for proof before buying it.
