Most flax oil is not delicious. There is great variation in taste among the brands currently sold in natural food stores, but the best of them still leaves much to be desired. I have been recommending flax oil as a dietary supplement to patients with autoimmune disorders, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions, but about half of them cannot tolerate it. Some say that it makes them gag, even when concealed in salad dressing or mashed into a baked potato. Unless you get flax oil right from the processor and freeze it until you start using it, it will already have deteriorated by the time you buy it.
Hemp oil contains more EFAs than flax oil and actually tasts good.
It is nutty and free from the objectionable undertones of flax oil. I use it on salads, baked potatoes, and other foods and would not consider putting it in capsules. Like flax oil, hemp oil should be stored in the refrigerator, used quickly, and never be heated. There is controversy about the value of adding this fatty acid to the diet, but many people take supplements of it in the form of capsules of evening primrose oil, black currant oil, and borage oil. My experience is that it stimulates growth of hair and nails, improves the health of the skin, and can reduce inflammation.
