Is it true that linseed oil should be eaten with cottage cheese?
Quark with linseed oil is a traditional dish from Lusatia and the Spreewald and beyond. Quark contains a proportion of readily available protein, which contributes to maintaining and building muscles. In addition, low-fat quark is popular because it contains little saturated fat and is therefore low in calories.
The combination of quark with linseed oil is particularly popular among athletes because it contains a lot of protein and good omega-3 fatty acids, both of which are important for muscle building. The combination keeps you full for a particularly long time because the fat in the linseed oil ensures that the protein is absorbed more slowly. This means that the body has readily available protein over a longer period of time. As a result, the two foods complement each other very well. However, the foods also have advantages independently of each other.
Beneficial properties of linseed oil
Linseed oil has a high proportion of omega-3 fatty acids. The omega-3 fatty acids are essential and also play an important role in muscle building. They also have a positive effect on the flow properties of the blood, blood pressure and lipid metabolism. Flaxseed oil can also be used in other cold dishes such as salad dressings. Some people even put it in sweet foods like fruit curd. It is not suitable for heating. Due to the high omega-3 fatty acid content, linseed oil goes rancid faster than other oils. Therefore, it should be consumed within one to two months. To prevent spoilage, it should be bought in small bottles and stored in a cool, dark place. In contrast to other oils, it makes sense to even put the linseed oil in the fridge.
