Flax Seed

March 26th, 2008

Flax seed has a nutty, butter flavor and contains a virtual powerhouse of nutrients. It is one of the richest sources of alpha-linoleic acid, one type of fatty acid in the omega-3 family. Flax seed is also a great source of insoluble and soluble fiber, which helps reduce cholesterol levels. Flax seed oil also contains lignans that have anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti- fungal and anti-cancer properties.
