Brown Flaxseed is high content of alpha linoleic acids has made the ancient flax seed become our modern miracle food. Alpha linoleic acid is a type of omega 3 fatty acid, similar to those found in fish such as salmon. Benefits of flax seed as shown in many studies include lowering total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) levels. The warm, earthy and subtly nutty flavor of flaxseeds combined with an abundance of omega—3 fatty acids makes them an increasingly popular addition to the diets of many a health conscious consumer.

Grind flaxseeds in a coffee or seed grinder in order to enhance their digestibility and therefore their nutritional value. If adding ground flaxseeds to a cooked cereal or grain dish, do so at the end of cooking since the soluble fiber in the flaxseeds can thicken liquids if left too long. Sprinkle ground flaxseeds onto your hot or cold cereal, add flaxseeds to your homemade muffin, cookie or bread recipe. To pump up the nutritional volume of your breakfast shake, add ground flaxseeds. To give cooked vegetables a nuttier flavor, sprinkle some ground flaxseeds on top of them. You can even add a tablespoon of flaxseed oil to smoothies to give a delicious treat a fiber boost!
