If you get a really good quality oil, it does not taste bad and you can take a couple of tablespoons right out of the bottle. If you don't get the good stuff, it can taste bad and has to be mixed or hidden in foods. I don't remember what brand I used that tasted good. What I'm using now is a store brand, HEB's Central Market. It's a good oil, but may not be available where you are.

Great, just when I think I've found something to help be healthier, it gets complicated. How can you tell if it's good quality?
