Flax Seed Roasted

We are offering flax seed. Flaxseed or linseed (linum usitatissimum l.) comes from the flax plant, an annual herb. The ancient egyptians used flaxseed as both food and medicine. They also used the fiber from the flax plant to make clothes, fishnets, and other products. Historically, flaxseed has been primarily used as a laxative. It is high in fiber and a gummy material called mucilage. These substances expand when they come in contact with water, so they add bulk to stool and help it move more quickly through the gastrointestinal tract. it may be tiny, but it’s mighty: the flax seed carries one of the biggest nutrient payloads on the planet. And while it’s not technically a grain, it has a similar vitamin and mineral profile to grains, while the amount of fiber, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids in flax leaves grains in the dust. Additionally, flax seed is very low in carbohydrates, making it ideal for people who limit their intake of starches and sugars. And its combination of healthy fat and high fiber content make it a great food for weight loss and maintenance -- many dieters have found that flax seed has been a key to keeping them feeling satisfied.
