1. Look at the place of origin
People who are familiar with linseed oil generally know that the linolenic acid content is highest only in linseed grown in Inner Mongolia; secondly in Ningxia; thirdly in Shanxi and Hebei where it is grown (these two provinces are only grown in a few counties near Inner Mongolia); the linseed in the Northeast is suitable for chemical industry and the production of flax mats and other items.
Second, look at the production process
Generally, there are three production processes for linseed oil: cold pressing, hot pressing, and leaching. The best is the real cold-pressed linseed oil , which is carried out at room temperature without heating; hot pressing is the oil that is roasted at high temperature and then pressed; leaching is using No. 6 hydrogen oil to soak the linseeds and then press them, and then go through "dewaxing, decolorization, degumming, deacidification, derusting, and deodorization". This process is called "refining". Generally, the oil produced in this way is used as industrial oil.
Three, look at the color
The color of the oil is naturally different due to different production processes. The color of real cold-pressed linseed oil is golden yellow; the color of hot-pressed oil is deep red, also called maroon; the oil after leaching and refining is light yellow, almost the color of salad oil.
Four, smell
Real cold-pressed linseed oil has a deep flavor, with a faint grassy aroma; hot-pressed oil has a very fragrant smell, just like the aroma of roasted linseeds; leached oil has a very fishy smell, many people say it smells like fish, but it is actually the smell after leaching and refining.
5. Look at the packaging
According to many cases and explanations from nutrition experts, plastic packaging of food has very adverse factors for the human body, especially oil in plastic packaging. Even plastic packaging that meets the food safety standard will inevitably decompose together with the edible oil. In other words, plastic packaging of edible oil or linseed oil, plasticizers and plasticizers will definitely decompose into the oil. You can imagine the serious consequences of long-term consumption of plastic packaging. The best packaging is opaque glass bottles, which not only avoids the problem of oxidation, but also completely retains the original activity of linseed oil.
6. Look at the price
The price of flaxseed oil on the market ranges from more than ten yuan to several hundred yuan. Let me tell you that authentic domestically produced pure natural flaxseed raw materials are about 25 yuan per pound, and cold-pressed flaxseed Oil is about 5 pounds of raw material to produce one pound of oil. You can understand it by yourself!
Why is there such cheap linseed oil? Let me tell you there are two reasons:
First, imported flaxseed raw materials. I don’t know when, but imported flaxseed raw materials are much cheaper than domestic ones, and the oil yield rate is very high. It’s hard to say whether they are genetically modified. To cite a report, 80% of our edible oil raw materials (such as soybeans, corn, etc.) are imported from the United States, and they are definitely genetically modified, and everyone knows the consequences.
Second, many businesses put their own interests first and even mix vegetable oil and salad oil in linseed oil.
The common purpose of both is to reduce costs, including leaching refined linseed oil. According to experts, the cost of extracted linseed oil is very low. Everyone understands that you get what you pay for, and I sincerely hope that everyone will get value for money and achieve true health and happiness.
