Westpoint Organic Seed, Flax, Golden, 2 kg

Description Flax seeds are shiny, oval-shaped seeds with a golden yellow colour. Golden flax seeds have a palatable nutty flavour that makes them a suitable addition to many baked products. Flax seeds are an excellent source of soluble dietary fibre, complete protein, and Omega-3 fatty acids. Uses Organic golden flax seeds can be eaten in a number of ways. They add a nutty flavour to breads, bagels, muffins, or granola products. Flax seeds can also be added to smoothies or hot cereal (1 or 2 tablespoons per serving) during or after cooking. For proper digestion, it is best to grind the seeds into a paste or meal before mixing with other ingredients. Tea made from flax seeds is said to be good for bronchial conditions and to have a laxative and soothing effect on the intestinal tract.
