Recommended use as a dietary supplement: 3-5 tablespoons of Finola® oil per week on salads, cooked or raw vegetables, potatoes, pasta, rice or just mixed with crushed garlic as a dip for breads may provide sufficient amounts of GLA and SDA to relieve symptoms of atopic dermatitis (exzcema). Up to 2 tablespoons per day may be required in some cases. For children, 3-5 teaspoons a week may be sufficient, and up to 2 teaspoons per day may be required in some cases. Finola® oil is perfect for marinades, salad dressings, cold or warm sauces, patés, or in soups. Alternatively, Finola® oil can be blended with fruit juices or smoothies to form a nutritious power drink. Finola® oil goes very well with the naturally acidic flavor of yogurt. A delicious salad dressing can easily be made by mixing 2/3 Finola® oil with 1/6 balsamic vinegar and 1/6 soy sauce. Pressed garlic can be added to keep this from separating as quickly. In any case, shake before using. This healthy "dressing" is also great on cooked vegetables and other foods as well! Finola® oil stays fresh up to 3 months after
opening if stored in a cool (+5 C) dark
place. Freeze the bottled oil to maintain freshness over longer
periods of time. Note: freezing Finola® oil is the best way to preserve freshness and will not break the glass bottle.
Linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid are the two essential fatty acids (EFAs), which make up 75% of Finola® oil. As the name implies; these two fatty acids are essential to human health, and must be obtained through the diet. Medical studies have shown that consumption of these two highly unsaturated fatty acids can have beneficial effects on many chronic and degenerative health conditions. In addition, Finola® oil also contains over 4% GLA (omega-6) and about 2% SDA (omega-3), which are both rare and biochemically valuable fatty acids. Both GLA and SDA are natural biological metabolites of the two EFAs, which serve as precurssors to other important metabolites. Together, the total amount of omega-3 and omega-6 is over 80% in Finola® oil. Together, the total content of omega-3, -6 and -9 in Finola® oil is over 90%. Caution! Highly unsaturated vegetable oils are denatured by heating above 150 C, which can result in the production of unhealthy trans-fatty acids and peroxides. These chemical reactions are dependent on both time and temperature, and evntually occurs with all unsaturated vegetable oils. In other words, the longer one cooks with Finola® oil, and the higher the temperature, the more peroxides and trans-fatty acids will beformed. This is why we advise you to not cook with Finola® oil at high temperatures for long periods of time.

1000 kg and 20 kg bags of EU-certified planting seed, ready for delivery. This blue C1 lable was issued for planting seed produced in Finland.
