Linseed, also known as flaxseed, is a tiny, nutrient-rich seed derived from the flax plant. Originating from regions of the Middle East and Mediterranean, it has been cultivated for centuries and is prized in various cuisines for its versatility and health benefits. Linseed is packed with essential nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals like magnesium and manganese. Its high antioxidant content, particularly lignans, may support heart health, hormonal balance, and immune function. Linseed is popular in baking, smoothies, and salads, often ground into a powder for better digestion and nutrient absorption. Rich in healthy fats and fiber, it promotes good digestion and helps regulate cholesterol levels, though it should be consumed in moderation due to its calorie density. Whether incorporated into traditional recipes or health-conscious modern dishes, linseed is a powerful addition to a balanced diet.
