The flax plant yields the fibre from which linen is made as well as seeds and oil.  Linseed is highly unsaturated and heart healthy.  The lignans and other components of the seed may also have antioxidant properties, allowing them to reduce the activity of cell-damaging free radicals.

Using Linseed/Flaxseed

Linseed, or flaxseed, has a pleasant, nutty flavour and can be sprinkled on cereals, into yoghurts, and smoothies.  You can also choose to take it in the form of the oil, or as a supplement in capsule form.  To gain the most benefit from the seeds, be sure to grind them or chew them very well otherwise they will simply pass through the body whole.  Keep the seeds or oil refrigerated.  Alternatively, keep the oil in a dark place.  Do not use the oil for frying or sautéing.

The recommended daily dose for most people is at least 1000mg taken one to three times daily.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not consume large amounts of flax.
