Linseed/Flax Seed
Linseed, also known as flaxseed, is recognized as one of today’s “superfoods”. This nutrition powerhouse is rich in essential fatty acids (omega 6 and 3), which strengthen the immune system and cleanse the arteries – benefits which can be accessed when the seed is ground. It is also a good source of fibre, protein, B vitamins, magnesium, potassium and zinc. What’s more, it is low in saturated fats and calories and has ‘zero’ cholesterol. Its pleasant, nutty taste lends another flavour dimension to salads, soups, yoghurts, cereals and baked goods.
