A simple & delicious way to make meals tasty

Johanna Budwig created this delicious, fresh-tasting blend of linseed (flaxseed) and coconut oils lightly enhanced with garlic and onion for use on the Budwig diet.  It’s savoury, rich and tasty and a great addition to meals on the Budwig Diet.  A dollop of oleolux enriches soups, baked potatoes, risotto or any steamed veg.  Add oleolux and a little sprinkle of cayenne pepper too and you’ll make any meal more  interesting.

Oleolux is a combination of two of the healthiest fats  and rich in omega-3

Coconut oil has a great reputation for health, it’s a rich source of medium chain fatty acids which are an aid to a healthy immune system.   Linseed oil is a super source of omega-3.  10g of oleolux gives you a whopping 2g of omega-3.  Oleolux also contains two other superfoods, onions and garlic are rich in  allicin, a sulphur compound with amazing health benefits.

An important part of the Budwig diet

It’s an important part of the Budwig diet, Johanna Budwig recommends it for evening meals and as an option with lunch or when having the occasional slice of bread.   It’s satisfying,  adds calories to give you energy without adding carbs and helps keep blood sugars stable.
