Flaxseeds (linseed)

Flaxseeds (linseed)  (80g)

Description

Flaxseed (Linseed) fiber is used to make linen and its seeds yield linseed oil. With the development of synthetic fibers in the 20th-century fiber, flax fell out of favor and is now better known as a healthy addition to foods. It contains lignans, antioxidants, fiber, protein, and polyunsaturated fatty acids such as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), or omega-3.
Linseed oil, extracted from flax seed, is one of the most useful natural oils. It is used as a preservative for wood, concrete, and an ingredient in paints, varnishes, and stains. As if that wasn’t enough, it is also used in soaps, inks, and in the production of linoleum!
Flax seeds or flaxseed oil can be added to many common foods. Try the following:
• Adding them to water and drinking it as part of your daily fluid intake
• Drizzling flaxseed oil as a dressing on the salad
• Sprinkling ground flaxseeds over your hot or cold breakfast cereal
• Mixing them into your favorite yogurt
• Adding them into a cookie, muffin, bread, or other batters
• Mixing them into smoothies to thicken up the consistency.
• Adding them to water as an egg substitute
• Incorporating them into meat patties
