Question: is flaxseed oil saturated or unsaturated?
Answer: Although about 41 per cent of flax is oil, very little of that is saturated. More than 70 per cent of fat in flax is of the healthful polyunsaturated type. In fact, a unique feature of flax is the high ratio of alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) to linoleic (omega-6 fatty acids).
