Ground brown flaxseeds are finely milled seeds of the flax plant, a crop native to the Mediterranean and parts of Asia. These nutrient-packed seeds are rich in dietary fiber, heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and plant-based proteins, making them a popular choice in health-conscious cooking. They also contain lignans, which are natural antioxidants linked to potential hormone balance and cancer prevention benefits. Ground flaxseeds are easier to digest and absorb than whole seeds, making them a versatile addition to smoothies, baked goods, salads, or oatmeal. While they offer numerous health benefits, their high omega-3 content may not be suitable for individuals on blood-thinning medications. They are naturally gluten-free and widely used in vegan and vegetarian recipes as an egg substitute or nutritional boost. Originating from ancient cuisine, flaxseeds continue to be a staple in modern diets focused on supporting heart and gut health.
