About Crushed flax seed

Crushed flax seed, derived from the flax plant commonly cultivated in regions of Europe, Canada, and Asia, is a nutrient-dense superfood celebrated for its versatility in cuisine and robust health benefits. Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fiber, and plant-based protein, it serves as an excellent addition to smoothies, baked goods, salads, or yogurt. Its nutty flavor complements both sweet and savory dishes. Flax seeds are renowned for supporting heart health, improving digestion, and providing essential antioxidants like lignans, which may contribute to hormonal balance. They also offer a gluten-free alternative for those with dietary restrictions. However, moderation is key; excessive consumption may lead to digestive discomfort due to their high fiber content. To maximize nutrient absorption, crushed or ground flax seed is preferred over whole seeds, as the latter can pass through the digestive system intact.
