[What is Phytosterol?]

Phytosterols are compounds found in plants that resemble cholesterol. The National Institutes of Heath report that there are over 200 different phytosterols, and the highest concentrations of phytosterols are found naturally in vegetable oils, beans and nuts. Their benefits are so recognized that foods are being fortified with phytosterols. At the supermarket, you may see orange juice or margarine advertising phytosterol contents. After reviewing the health benefits, you may want to add phytosterol-rich foods to your diet.

[Benefits]

Cholesterol-Lowering Benefits

The most well-known, and scientifically proven, benefit of phytosterols is their ability to help lower cholesterol. A phytosterol is a plant compound that is similar to cholesterol. A study in the 2002 issue of “Annual Review of Nutrition” explains that phytosterols actually compete for absorption with cholesterol in the digestive tract. While they prevent the absorption of regular dietary cholesterol, they themselves are not easily absorbed, which leads to a total lower cholesterol level. The cholesterol-lowering benefit does not end with a good number on your blood work report. Having lower cholesterol leads to other benefits, such as a reduced risk for heart disease, stroke and heart attacks.

Cancer Protection Benefits

Phytosterols have also been found to help protect against the development of cancer. The July 2009 issue of the” European Journal of Clinical Nutrition” offers encouraging news in the fight against cancer. Researchers at the University of Manitoba in Canada report that there is evidence that phytosterols help prevent ovarian, breast, stomach and lung cancer. Phytosterols do this by preventing the production of cancer cells, stopping the growth and spread of cells that are already in existence and actually encouraging the death of cancer cells. Their high anti-oxidant levels are believed to be one way phytosterols help fight cancer. An anti-oxidant is a compound that fights free radical damage, which is negative effects on the body produced by cells that are unhealthy.

Skin Protection Benefits

A lesser known benefit of phytosterols involves skin care. One of the contributing factors in the aging of the skin is the breakdown and loss of collagen — the main component in connective skin tissue — and sun exposure is a major contributor to the problem. As the body ages, it is not able to produce collagen as it once did. The German medical journal “Der Hautarzt” reports a study in which various topical preparations were tested on skin for 10 days. The topical treatment that showed anti-aging benefits to the skin was the one that contained phytosterols and other natural fats. It is reported that phytosterols not only stopped the slow-down of collagen production that can be caused by the sun, it actually encouraged new collagen production.

We often refer to our Linseed as being “Farm Fresh” – but what does that mean? And why does it matter?

Linseed isn’t the easiest plant to grow and harvest and so there’s always a good deal of relief when several tons of the glistening brown or gold seeds, complete with their nutty smell, are stored safely in our purpose-built barn. You can’t get much fresher and more traceable than that!

As we are able to store the seed, it means that we can “press on demand”. Your linseed pods and your culinary linseed oil reach you in a perfect and fresh condition. Both chefs and professional oil tasters alike tell us that our linseed oil is the best they have ever tasted.

“Press on Demand” is the way we ensure you get “Farm Fresh” because we only press the Linseeds into oil in small batches. We then bottle it by hand and send directly to you. Each bottle has a small silver label confirming it was pressed in the last ten days. This is the way we ensure You Always get the oil, “Farm Fresh”.

Think about “Farm Fresh” in the same way as you would milk – it needs consuming whilst it is fresh. We wonder sometimes how long ago other similar products were pressed or indeed how long they have been on a shelf.

But let me tell you a little more about the whole process. Each year, over 220 acres of linseed are planted and harvested. There are several varieties of linseed to choose from, but we prefer to grow a short-stemmed linseed plant because it throws every ounce of its energy into swelling the tiny seed head with oil. The linseed is planted in the spring as soon as the soil is warm and by late August or early September, it’s harvest time and the long days begin as the linseed is harvested. The seeds are then brought to the farm granary for storage.

Making the seed ready for pressing involves being passed through a seed cleaning machine before being allowed to fall into the press itself. From the press the oil flows initially into a vessel below the press for settlement. After a couple of days the oil has settled and is ready to be filtered through muslin and bottled by hand with no pumping. This is a cold pressed process, which means that no solvents or heat are ever used. This is because linseed is like other unsaturated nut and seed oils – if subjected to high temperatures the oil’s important health giving properties are destroyed. Our natural process can only be compared to the production methods used to produce the best single-estate olive oils.

Of course, being farmers we make sure that absolutely nothing goes to waste. The husks from the seeds become a rich oil cake for cattle feed, it also improves their health and and enriches the milk so we get better meat and milk too. Whole seed is also milled to make linseed flour which is then used in baking and as a healthy cereal topping.
