Flax seed, also known as linseed, is a nutrient-rich superfood derived from the flax plant, commonly grown in regions like Canada, the U.S., and parts of Europe. These tiny seeds boast a mild nutty flavor and are widely used in baking, smoothies, and cereals. Flax seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, plant-based protein, fiber, and lignans, compounds known for antioxidant properties. They are especially popular in vegetarian and vegan cuisines for their role in promoting heart health, improving digestion, and providing essential fatty acids. Originating from ancient civilizations in the Middle East, flax seeds remain a staple in health-conscious diets worldwide. While highly beneficial, excessive consumption may lead to digestive discomfort due to their fibrous nature. To maximize their health benefits, grind them fresh to better absorb their nutrients.
