Flaxseed oil, especially if not refined, has a very low smoke point. This makes it particularly unsuitable, from a health point of view, for high temperature cooking.
Unless you are a arsonist, there is another reason to avoid flaxseed oil to cook at high temperatures.
Particularly low, compared to those of other oils, they are in fact also the flash point and the point of combustion.
In fact, around 130 ° C, the raw flaxseed oil can be ignited by a flame, while around 190 ° C it spontaneously ignites. Keep in mind that during a medium-flame frying, 160-180 ° C is easily reached.
