What is "flax"?

Flax, also known as linseed, refers to the seeds of the flax plant, scientifically known as Linum usitatissimum. These tiny seeds are highly nutritious and prized for their rich content of omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, fiber, and other essential nutrients. Flax seeds come in two main varieties: brown and golden, with brown flax seeds being more common. They have a slightly nutty flavor and a crunchy texture. Flax seeds can be consumed whole, ground into flaxseed meal, or pressed to extract flaxseed oil. They are commonly used as a dietary supplement, added to smoothies, yogurt, cereals, and baked goods like bread, muffins, and crackers. Flax seeds are renowned for their potential health benefits, including promoting heart health, supporting digestive health, and reducing inflammation. Additionally, flax seeds are often used as an egg substitute in vegan baking recipes due to their ability to bind ingredients together.
