Is flaxseed good for you?
One of the key benefits of flaxseed is that it is high in omega 3 (ALA).
These are essential fatty acids, which mean that our bodies cannot produce them and so we must get them through our diet.
Oily fish such as salmon, sardines and mackerel are all good, natural sources of omega 3 fatty acids.
Flaxseeds: a source of omega 3 for vegans and vegetarians
But if you do not like the taste of oily fish or you are following a vegan or vegetarian diet then flaxseed is a great alternative source of omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 helps to maintain normal blood cholesterol levels*.
A source of protein and fibre
Flaxseed is also an excellent source of both fibre so adding flaxseed to your diet could be very beneficial. It contains both soluble and insoluble fibre supporting the normal functioning of the digestive system.. Flaxseed also contains phytochemicals called lignans.
Linwoods Milled Organic Flaxseed is milled, which preserves its nutrients and helps it to be absorbed into the body more easily.
Whole flaxseed may pass through your intestine without being digested and this means that you will not get all of its nutritional benefits.
