Organic Brown Flaxseed (Linseed) is high in antioxidants called lignans.
Organic Brown Flaxseed (linseed) is a very popular whole food which has been cultivated for over 6000 years. You may sometimes hear these little nutrient dense seeds being called linseed – they are exactly the same thing.
One 30g serving of organic flaxseed is high in protein, fibre, B1, magnesium and manganese. Linseed is actually one of the richest sources of plant based omega 3 fatty acids (also called alpha-linolenic acid – ALA).
You can simply sprinkle the whole seeds over food but soaking or grinding them releases more of their nutritional power. Flax can also be brewed into a tea by steeping it in hot water for 10 minutes. If you need a recipe to get you started then try this Five Seed Oatcakes Recipe.
