About Toasted flax seeds

Toasted flax seeds are nutrient-packed seeds with origins tracing back to ancient Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Renowned for their nutty flavor and subtle crunch, these are often used as toppings for salads, yogurts, and baked goods or blended into smoothies and oatmeal. Rich in dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and lignans, toasted flax seeds support heart health, aid digestion, and provide antioxidant benefits. They are also an excellent source of plant-based protein, magnesium, and B vitamins, making them a popular choice in vegetarian and vegan diets. Despite their impressive health profile, flax seeds should be consumed in moderation as their high calorie and fat content could lead to weight gain if overused. For optimal absorption of nutrients, it's recommended to consume them ground rather than whole. Versatile and delicious, toasted flax seeds are a delightful addition to both sweet and savory dishes.
