About Flax
Flax, also known as linseed, is a nutrient-rich seed derived from the flax plant, which has been cultivated for thousands of years, originating in the Middle East. It is a powerhouse of nutrition, packed with dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and lignans—plant compounds with antioxidant properties. Flax seeds come in golden or brown varieties and have a mild, nutty flavor, making them a popular addition to smoothies, baked goods, and salads. Their high content of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3, supports heart health, while their fiber promotes digestion and aids in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. Flax seeds are a versatile choice in vegan and gluten-free cooking, as they can serve as an egg substitute when mixed with water. However, consuming them in excess or without adequate hydration may cause digestive discomfort. For optimal nutritional benefits, it's best to consume ground flax seeds.
