Flax seeds, also called alsi seeds or linseeds, come from the Linum usitatissimum plant. They are tiny, oval seeds that range in colour from golden yellow to reddish brown. Flax seeds are widely valued for their dense nutritional profile and health benefits, and are consumed whole, ground, roasted, or as flaxseed oil.
Nutritional Highlights:
These seeds are rich in healthy fats (especially omega-3 fatty acids in the form of alpha-linolenic acid or ALA), dietary fibre, plant protein, and lignans—a type of antioxidant plant compound found in especially high amounts in flax seeds. They also provide essential vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, and thiamine.
