I bought some flax oil in capsules once, against my better judgement,
and it was very rancid (smelly). It also had dating that suggested it
was good for a couple of years. I was glad I had tasted the
refrigerated, bottled flax oil, because I had something to compare it
to. I find the fresh oil quite pleasant tasting.
