Flaxseed is a tiny seed that has been around for centuries. It is considered a "superfood" because of its many nutritional properties and health benefits. Flaxseed contains phenolic compounds, which are known for their anticancer and anti-oxidative properties. Flaxseed also contains phytoestrogens called lignans, which are similar to the hormone estrogen.
Where to Plant Flax Seeds. Grow flax in Full-Sun and rich, well-draining soil. Although flax can be adaptable when it comes to soil types, it's best to Amend the soil in your planting area with organic matter, compost, or manure when the soil is poor. Flax can struggle in clay or wet soil.
Flax should be planted in the early spring, but may also be planted in the late summer/early fall in temperate climates. Choose a sunny site with well-drained, sandy soil. Direct planting is preferred, but seeds can be sown in flats to be transplanted later. Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost.
