Flax Seed (Meal)
Flax is an ancient global food crop as well as a source of textile fiber and linseed oil. The seed of the plant is highly nutritious, supplying generous amounts of protein, fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Flax seed meal offers a convenient way to add flax to foods, including cereals, smoothies and baked goods. As an added bonus, cooking or baking the ground seed doesn't diminish the omega-3 content.
