Ground Flaxseed

Ground Flaxseeds are small brown or golden seeds commonly used in baking, cereals and smoothies and are associated with Northern and Middle Eastern cuisines; they are valued for their nutty flavor and crunchy texture. They are particularly notable for their plant-based omega-3 content, providing about 22800mg of alpha-linolenic acid per 100g, and are also a concentrated source of fiber and protein. In addition to healthy fats and fiber, flax seeds contain lignans and other plant compounds with antioxidant activity and have a favorable combination of nutrients that support heart and digestive health.
