Linseed

Brown flaxseed (or dark brown flaxseed) are the small seeds from the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). They are dark brown in color and have an oval shape. Brown flax seeds are considered an excellent source of nutrients. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, lignans (which are antioxidant compounds), and various minerals, such as magnesium and copper. These seeds are often used for their health benefits. The omega-3 fatty acids found in flaxseed may support heart health, reduce inflammation, and promote better brain function. The dietary fiber found in flax seeds can help regulate intestinal transit and promote healthy digestion. Brown flax seeds can be eaten whole, but they are often ground or pressed to release their nutrients.
