I've just been given two 750ml bottles of flaxseed oil for my birthday, but I've never used it before. Can I use it as a substitute for olive oil? or are there recipes which benefit from flaxseed oil? Apparently it's smoking point is really low, so I have no idea.

Google and Yahoo are blocked here, but using local search engines just show it seems to be used as a health supplement - so I have no idea what to do with it! And I don't know what benefits there are to health either. I have high-ish blood pressure and suffer from gout from time to time, so if it helps this, I need to find ways to use it!
