of nutrients. In addition to a high content of alpha linolenic acid (a type of omega-3 fatty acids,) flax seeds are also high in antioxidants and a great source of fiber.
Did you know? Unfortunately, our digestive systems cannot break down whole flax seeds.
For best results, ground your seeds just prior to adding them to food or cooking. You'll get more nutrients and fiber. If you prefer to go with pre-ground flaxseeds for the convenience, put them in the freezer so the oil in the seeds will not go rancid.
Another great option is to add pure flax seed oil to your salads in place of olive oil. Yum!
