Flaxseed

Flaxseed is a small, nutrient-rich seed obtained from the flax plant. It is high in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, lignans (which have antioxidant properties), and protein. These nutrients may support heart health, improve digestion, and provide anti-inflammatory benefits. Flaxseed can be consumed ground or whole, often added to cereal, smoothies, or baked goods. Because it is a good plant-based source of healthy fats and fiber, incorporating flaxseed into your diet can contribute to overall well-being. However, it is best consumed in moderation, especially for those sensitive to high fiber intake or with certain digestive conditions.
