Flaxseed

Flaxseed is a small, brown or golden-colored seed that comes from the flax plant. It is known for its high nutritional value and is often considered a superfood. Flaxseed is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and lignans, which are plant compounds with antioxidant properties. It has a nutty flavor and can be consumed whole, ground, or as an oil. Flaxseed is commonly added to smoothies, cereals, baked goods, and salads. It is also used as a dietary supplement to support heart health, digestion, and overall well-being.
