Flax Seeds-200G

Flaxseeds from Organic Nation provide the highest concentration of Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA) or plant-based omega-3 to protect the heart and arteries and reduce inflammation. They are also distinguished by being an excellent source of dietary fiber, making them the smart and strongest choice to support digestive health, assist in weight management, and provide your meals with higher nutritional value.

Why should I grind flaxseeds before consuming them?
flaxseeds have a very hard cellulose shell that the human digestive system cannot break down. If you eat them whole, they will come out of the body as they are without any benefit.

Are flaxseeds really the highest in omega-3 compared to other seeds?
Yes, flaxseeds are considered the most concentrated plant-based source of alpha-linolenic acid (plant-based omega-3), surpassing sunflower seeds (rich in omega-6) and pumpkin seeds (rich in zinc and monounsaturated fats).

What is the advantage of the "lignans" compounds found in flaxseed?
They are unique plant compounds that act as powerful antioxidants and "phytoestrogens," effectively helping to regulate hormones in the body. Flaxseeds are distinguished by their content of these compounds, which is up to 800 times higher compared to other plant foods.

How can I prevent ground flaxseeds from becoming bitter?
Bitterness means that the oils and omega-3 have oxidized and spoiled; to avoid this, grind only a small amount that will last you for a few days and store the ground seeds in the refrigerator in a dark, airtight container.
