Flaxseed Oil
An oil primarily used for woodworking and paint supplies but can surprisingly also be drizzled on a salad.
Notes
Flaxseed Oil is a versatile item used primarily in woodworking (paints) and as a fuel or cooking ingredient. It provides only fat nutrition (15 fat, 120 calories) with no other nutrients, making it a poor standalone food for achieving a balanced diet bonus — use it instead in cooked recipes like Banh Xeo or Fish Stew. As a fuel (4000 Joules) it can power early stations, and it is also a key component in Base Paint and Biodiesel.
