Speaking of flaxseed oil...

why is it so darned expensive? I've been looking at it, often pick some up, but put it back down when I reconsider the price. Unlike protein shakes, that stuff rarely goes on sale.

MIL gets whole flaxseed from a healthfood store and grinds it to add to cereal and yogurt. That'd probably be more economical.

It may be the cold processing, the fact that it needs to be refrigerated, or the amount of flaxseed produced and how much it takes of that to make the oil. Guess it could be many things that contribute to the cost. It is so beneficial that it's worth the cost. I like the oil and the seeds. A coffee bean grinder is the best thing I've found to grind the seeds perfectly. They're too small for a blender. I think their nutty taste is good even in smoothies.
