About Flax seeds
Flax seeds are small, golden or brown seeds known for their impressive nutrient profile and ancient origins, often thought to date back to Mesopotamia. Rich in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and lignans, flax seeds are a powerhouse of health benefits. These seeds are popular in global cuisine, frequently incorporated into baked goods, smoothies, and cereals, or sprinkled over salads for a nutty flavor. Flax seeds are celebrated for promoting heart health, improving digestion, and providing plant-based protein, making them a favorite among vegetarians and vegans. However, they should be consumed in moderation, as excessive intake can lead to digestive discomfort. Ground flax seeds are often preferred, as they are easier for the body to digest and unlock more nutrients. Whether adding them to oatmeal or using them as an egg substitute, flax seeds are versatile and nutrient-dense, fitting seamlessly into various dietary lifestyles.
