About Linseeds

Linseeds, also known as flaxseeds, are small, nutrient-dense seeds originating from the flax plant, which has been cultivated for centuries across Europe, Asia, and North America. Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fiber, and plant-based protein, linseeds are celebrated for their contribution to heart health, digestion, and maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. They are a rich source of lignans, antioxidants linked to hormone balance and cancer prevention. Commonly used in baking, smoothies, and cereals, linseeds have a subtle nutty flavor and are a staple in vegetarian and vegan cuisines. They are most nutritious when ground, as whole seeds can pass through the digestive system undigested. Despite their numerous health benefits, consuming linseeds in excessive quantities can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort. Moderation and adequate hydration are recommended when adding these versatile seeds to your diet.
