About Flax Seeds
Flax seeds, also known as flax or linseed, come from the flax plant, which originated in India and Egypt but can now be found all around the world. Flax seeds are usually yellow or brown in color, depending on whether they are sold raw, roasted, or milled. Many people incorporate flax into their regular cooking in the form of flaxseed oil or ground up into flaxseed flour.
Why You Should Choose Snacks with Flax Seeds
Curious about the benefits of flax seeds? There are plenty! Just some of the health benefits of flax seeds include:
Flax Seeds are Low in Carbs and High in Fiber
On a low-carb diet? Flax seeds are the perfect choice for you. Although flax seeds consist of 29% carbs, 95% of this is fiber, out of which approximately 30% is soluble fiber. Soluble fiber is great for digestive health as well as for regulating blood pressure and sugar levels. The insoluble fiber content in flax seeds makes it a natural laxative when combined with water, which can help keep constipation and digestive distress at bay.
Flax Seeds are Rich in Alpha-Linoleic Acid (ALA)
Did you know that flax seeds are only surpassed by chia seeds when it comes to ALA content? It’s so important for us to obtain ALA from external sources, as our bodies don’t produce it naturally. ALA comes with many benefits thanks to its antioxidant properties. It can help reduce inflammation and may help lower the risk of developing heart diseases.
Flax Seeds are a Good Source of Many Vitamins and Minerals
Flax seeds are chock full of many essential vitamins and minerals including magnesium, copper, thiamine, and many more. You can give your overall health a boost by incorporating flax seeds into your diet and eating foods with flax seeds already in them.
