Flax seeds are small seeds high in omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, fiber, and protein. They support heart health, digestion, hormone balance, and inflammation reduction. Ground flax seeds are preferred for nutrient absorption. They can be added to smoothies, oatmeal, baked goods, or sprinkled on yogurt and salads. Regular consumption promotes satiety, gut health, and essential fatty acid intake. Their mild, nutty flavor blends well into many recipes without overpowering taste.
