About Flaxseeds

Flaxseeds, small golden or brown seeds originating from the flax plant, are a nutritional powerhouse widely used in many global cuisines. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, they are an excellent source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber. Flaxseeds provide lignans, antioxidants that support overall health and may help balance hormone levels. Popular in vegan and gluten-free diets, they can enhance smoothies, baked goods, and salads. Their nutty flavor complements both sweet and savory dishes. Flaxseeds promote heart health, improve digestion, and may help regulate cholesterol levels. They are best consumed ground to maximize nutrient absorption, as whole seeds may pass through the digestive system undigested. While highly nutritious, flaxseeds should be eaten in moderation due to their high calorie content and mild laxative effect when consumed in excess. Incorporating flaxseeds into your diet is a simple way to boost essential nutrients and support a healthy lifestyle.
