Organic Flax seed, also known as linseed, comes from the flax plant, which is cultivated for its seeds as well as its fiber. Packed inside every tiny seed is a mountain of nutrition. For instance, flaxseeds are an excellent source fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. The ground/meal can also be used as a substitute for eggs in many baked goods. Most Americans do not consume nearly enough omega-3s, and eating flaxseeds is an easy and tasty way to get these essential fats in your diet! These seeds can be eaten whole, or sprouted or ground to make their nutrients available to the body. Add flaxseed to bread, muffins, bars, biscuits, crackers, granola, cookies and other recipes for nutrition and nutty flavor.
