Flax Seeds, also known as linseeds, are small, flat, and oval-shaped seeds with a smooth, shiny surface, typically golden or brown in color. Sourced from the Linum usitatissimum plant, flax seeds are celebrated globally for their rich nutritional profile, especially high omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fiber, and lignans.
Flax seeds are widely used in the food, health, cosmetic, and industrial sectors. Their nutty flavor makes them a popular addition to cereals, smoothies, baked goods, and health supplements. When ground or soaked, they form a gel-like consistency and are often used as an egg substitute in vegan recipes.
