What is Flaxseed?

Flaxseed is a small, golden brown seed collected from the flax plant. It is highly valued for its high quantities of fiber and nutrients. The seeds are separated from the mature flax plants carefully.

These seeds are rich in lignans, dietary fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. Flaxseed promotes heart health, reduces cholesterol, and enhances digestion. These seeds can be consumed whole, crushed and added to other foods.

Flax seeds grow well in cool climates with well-draining soil. These plants grow tall and have slender stems. The fully grown seed pods are gathered, dried, and made ready for consumption.

How is flaxseed cultivated?

Flaxseed grows best in cool climates with well-drained soil. The process starts with planting of seeds in the early Spring. Plants develop thin stalks and green leaves. It needs enough sunlight and hydration to promote healthy seed growth.

When the pods become brown, harvesting begins. First, the plants are removed from the soil and then dried. After that, they are processed to make them fit for ingestion.
