A sealed, refrigerated bottle has a shelf-life of four months or one year in the freezer. Once the bottle is opened, it should be consumed within two weeks. It is a more expensive oil but priceless in its nutritional value and contribution to health. We have used flax oil in many of our dressings because of its mild nutty flavor. We believe it is worth every penny.
Some people think sunflower seeds are for the birds.
Often you can watch birds at a feeder, picking through all the other seeds to get to the prized sunflower seed. These little gems are packed with nutrients. In fact, they are considered by many to be the most perfect in nutrients, supplying all the body s needs, except vitamin D, which can be easily obtained through the action of sunlight on the skin. If the seeds have been removed from the shell, they need to be kept in the refrigerator. You may have to purchase them from a health food store.
