FLAX SEEDS
Flax seeds originated in the Middle East thousands of years ago. Our flax seeds is grown in eastern South Dakota in the United States of America. These are small oil seeds that contain omega-3 fats. Flax seeds can help improve digestion and reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer. Flax seeds can be incorporated into your diet by grinding them to make the most of their health benefits.
As a health food, flax seeds have gained popularity because of their high content of heart-healthy omega-3 fats, fiber and other unique plant compounds. A single spoon of flax seeds provides :
- Water 7%
- Protein 1.9 grams.
- Carb 3 grams.
- Sugar 0.2
- Fiber 2.8 grams
- Calories 55.
- Fat 4.3 grams
Soluble fiber helps regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels. It also promotes digestive health by feeding your beneficial gut bacteria. Flax seeds are also a good source of vitamins and minerals needed for optimal health, such as Thiamine, Copper, Molybdenum, Magnesium and Phosphorus. Just as you were born with plenty of magnesium to keep your heart healthy, you were also born with plenty of lutein to keep your eyes healthy. We hope the many health benefits of this flax seed will give you a healthier life.
