How Do You Pick A Good Oil?
Whether you are buying flaxseed, fish, olive or coconut oil, there are steps you can take to ensure you select the best oil.
1. Expeller pressed
The alternative to expeller pressed is high temperature and pressure over extended times that result in rancid oils. If the label doesn't say expeller pressed, it isn't.
2. Cold-pressed
The official US definition of cold pressed simply means it is processed at temperatures below 104 degrees. Since there is no regulation in this area, it is better if the oil is cold-pressed and expeller pressed.
3. Organic
As much as possible the oils should be organic to eliminate the presence of chemicals. Toxins are stored in the fatty tissue in the body, so consuming contaminated oils only increases the body's need to detox.
4. Taste
A good quality oil simply tastes good!
5. A company you can trust
Without a doubt, Barleans is known throughout the wellness industry as providing oils that meet all of the above standards.
