Westpoint Seed, Flax, Brown, 2 kg

Description Brown Flax Seeds are shiny, oval-shaped seeds with a pleasant nutty flavour. Just one tablespoon provides an excellent amount of dietary fibre, complete protein, healthy fats and omega-3 fatty acids, which can help lower cholesterol, improve digestive health and blood glucose control. Uses Flax seeds can be eaten in a number of ways. They add a nutty flavour to breads, bagels, muffins, or granola products. You can also add them to smoothies or hot cereal (1-2 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. Storage Flax seeds are rich in oil. The alpha-linolenic acid is stable only in the whole flax seed when stored in a cool dry place away from excessive light and moisture. The whole seed has a shelf life of up to 1 year depending on storage conditions.
