I first heard about Udo's Choice Oil mixture from a 'healthy living' type newsletter. As it was not available at my healthfood store, I had to send away for it on Amazon and the response was immediate.
I have for decades used only olive oil in the kitchen, because of its health furthering qualities as a mono unsaturated oil and great anti oxidant, at a time when the food establishment was still pushing their poly unsaturated oils on us, but from this newsletter I realized, I really should also take other essential fatty acids into my family's dietary consideration, which are contained in this oil mixture.
Udo's 3-6-9 Blend contains the ideal ratio of unrefined omega fatty acids ( 3 and 6 ). It contains the following organic, and cold pressed oils: flax seed oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil, evening primrose oil, rice bran oil, soy lecithin, oat germ and oat bran oil. The mixture has a wonderful nutty and buttery flavor. You can use it on any type of food or simply as a dietary supplement, as every cell and tissue, gland and organ in the human body depends upon the presence of essential fatty acids, which are necessary for cell growth and division. Unfortunately they are often absent from our modern diets and replaced by other horrible types of fat and oil.
The oil lasts about 2 months and as I bought a large bottle, I froze half of it. You should not heat it or use it during cooking and baking, but only after the cooking process is finished. They suggest 1 tbs / day and increase to 1 tbs per 50 lbs body weight.
The following wonderful salad dressing is from the newsletter made from Udo's 3-6-9 Blend:
* 1/3 balsamic vinegar
* 1/3 apple cider vinegar
* the remaining 1/3 , in equal parts, extra virgin olive oil and Udo's Choice Oil mixture
* add 1-2 teaspoon organic maple syrup
* season with a bit of onion powder, garlic powder and black pepper and mix well.
This is a delicious salad dressing a beats the commercial unhealthy types which are full of chemicals and sugar........
