About Flaxseed flour

Flaxseed flour, derived from ground flaxseeds, is a nutrient-dense ingredient packed with plant-based goodness. Originating from the flax plant, which has been cultivated for thousands of years in regions like the Mediterranean and Asia, this flour is celebrated for its high dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and lignans—plant compounds with antioxidant properties. It’s naturally gluten-free and commonly used in vegan and ketogenic recipes, often as a substitute for traditional flours or as an egg replacement when mixed with water. Flaxseed flour supports heart health, digestion, and may help regulate cholesterol levels. However, moderation is key, as consuming too much can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort due to its concentrated fiber. Its mild, nutty flavor makes it a versatile addition to baked goods, smoothies, and energy bars, adding a nutritional boost to various cuisines while promoting overall wellness.
