Everyone keeps telling me that flax seed oil has a sort of "nutty taste", but it doesn't taste like anything resembling a nut if I drink it straight.

The first time I tried a tablespoon of it, was about 6 months ago. I nearly lost my lunch. A friend told me that it must have been rancid.

Ok... So i threw away that bottle. I went to another place and got a bottle that was in a dark, light-proof container, and well refriggerated. I still nearly lost my lunch when I tried drinking it straight.

Luckilly, it tastes ok mixed with unsweetened yogurt, and a little artificial sweetener and cinnamon. I also don't mind it in my protein shakes. The health benefits outway the bad taste, in my opinion, anyway.

I guess my tastebuds are just weird. Everyone else I know seems not to mind it.
