It belongs to fast-drying oils, as it easily polymerizes in the presence of atmospheric oxygen (“dries up”) with the formation of a strong transparent film. This ability is due to the high content of unsaturated fatty acids (in%): 44-61% alpha-linolenic (Omega-3), 15-30% linoleic (Omega-6), 13-29% oleic (Omega-9). The content of saturated acids is 9-11%.

Flax oil contains a significant amount of tocopherols (vitamin E), folic acid and estrogen-like phytohormones (lignans). Kinematic viscosity at 20 °C 15.5⋅10−6 m²/s, iodine value 175-204.

After ingestion, linseed oil lignans are metabolized by anaerobes into free bioactive mammalian lignans - enterolactone and enterodiol.

Flax has long been used as a spinning and oilseed crop. Flax is not mowed, but pulled out by the roots - teasing. Previously, this work was done by hand, but now there are special machines for this. Flax stalks are tied into sheaves, dried and threshed to separate the seeds. At the oil plant, oil is pressed out of them, which is suitable for food, but most often it is used to make drying oil (bases for varnishes and paints), as well as to make soap. Flaxseeds are also used as medicine.

Seeds (1.1-1.4) 2-5 mm long, (0.7) 1-3 mm wide, obovate or ellipsoidal, elliptical in cross-section in most species, rarely round-triangular. The color of the seeds is predominantly dark brown, sometimes light brown (in the cultivated species Linum usitatissimum, the seeds can also be yellow, olive, green, with a reddish or blackish tinge).

The fruit is a septic capsule (1.8) 2-7 (8) mm long, (1.8) 2-7 (8) mm wide, spherical, flattened-spherical, spherical-ovoid or ovoid, opening in 10 one-seeded segments, rarely unopened or almost unopened. Boxes on a transverse section are rounded, less often 10-sided or 5-sided; divided by partitions into 5 nests, each of which contains 2 seeds, in turn, separated from each other by false partitions

Stamens 5, alternating with petals; filaments of stamens at the base are deltoidally expanded, as a rule, free or fused at the very base, rarely stamen filaments grow together along the entire length, cover the box and rise above it in the form of a tube; sometimes serrated staminodes are present.

Flowers 5-membered, bisexual, actinomorphic, heterostyly and entomophilous, or homostyly and self-pollinating; collected in cymose inflorescences. Sepals free, entire, imbricate, with stalked glandules along the edges, ciliate or white-membranous without glandules and cilia. Petals are free, with a nail (sometimes connected into a short tube), longer than the sepals, of various colors (blue, blue, yellow, less often pink, purple, red or white)
