Flaxseed

Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) is an ancient, nutrient-dense crop that has been cultivated for thousands of years and is widely regarded as a modern "superfood". Available as whole seeds, ground (milled) powder, or cold-pressed oil, flaxseed is prized for its exceptional nutritional profile. It is one of the richest plant-based sources of Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA) (an essential Omega-3 fatty acid), dietary fiber (both soluble mucilage and insoluble), and lignans (plant compounds with potent antioxidant and estrogen-like properties).
