鶹 Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
The taste reminds me very much of raw sesame seeds - the kind used in tahini, which have a bitter taste to me.
I've stored it sealed in the fridge since it arrived so the bitter taste was a surprise to me as I have ground flax seeds before and the ground seeds themselves just have a mild, nutty taste.
Still, who eats oil on it's own? Mixed with lemon juice and spices this makes a nice salad dressing and it's lighter in consistency than olive oil so that's a plus for me.
I haven't tried adding this to anything else yet as I do not need extra fat in my diet. But, I think it would be nice on top of steamed brocolli if you're looking for something without saturated fats (instead of butter).
This huge one litre bottle is priced the same as most extra virgin olive oils so the value isn't quite there for the price for me as I can't also use this to fry food. Plus the slight bitter taste makes it a lower preference to me than my good quality olive oil but I've got it so I will continue to use it as a salad oil and experiment with new ways to use it too.
