Instructions
Step 1
Use narrow-necked glass bottles to store flaxseed oil. It is desirable that the glass is tinted: brown, green or blue. You can also use ceramic dishes, but in this case it is more difficult to control the amount of the remaining product. The plastic container in which linseed oil is often sold is not environmentally friendly, so it is better to pour it over.

Step 5
According to the popular recipe, to keep linseed oil fresh, add 1 tsp of table salt calcined in a pan and cooled to it. per liter. In this case, the salt will serve as a natural preservative, taking away excess moisture.
