Flax Seed (Organic), also known as linseed, is a tiny, nutrient-dense seed that comes from the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). When grown organically, flax seeds are cultivated without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or GMOs, making them a cleaner, safer option for health-conscious consumers.
Flax seeds are known for being one of the richest plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), along with fiber, protein, and lignans (plant antioxidants).
