Additional information: Flax seeds have gained popularity as a health food, of late. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). These small oil seeds are also a good source of protein and fibre. They may help improve digestion and reduce the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
They can easily be incorporated into your diet. You can add them to soups, smoothies, oatmeal porridge, cakes, cookies and your favourite beverage. Just grind the seeds and store in an airtight container until ready to use.
