I figured salad dressing was one option, though you lose some of it at the bottom of the salad bowl. I need some other ideas. What happens if you use it to cook or bake - does it change the fatty acid profiles?

> EmmeI buy 50/50 omega 3/6 in a bottle, which contains flax seed oil. I take 2 teaspoons a day. You can use it on salads, but do not fry with it because it will change its properties.
