Linseed seeds, also known as flaxseeds, are small, nutrient-packed seeds derived from the flax plant, native to regions of the Mediterranean and Western Asia. Renowned for their versatility, they are used in baking, smoothies, and salads, often featured in health-focused cuisines worldwide. Linseeds are a rich source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), and lignans, which are plant compounds with antioxidant properties. These nutrients support heart health, digestion, and may have anti-inflammatory benefits. They also provide protein and various vitamins and minerals, including magnesium and vitamin B1. While linseeds are a healthy addition to most diets, they are calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation. Additionally, their high fiber content may cause digestive discomfort if consumed in excess. Ground linseeds are easier for the body to absorb, making them a popular choice for maximizing nutritional benefits.
