Flax Seeds

Flax Seeds commonly known as Alsi, are shiny, nutty seeds having an earthy aroma and a host of health benefiting properties. Experts and nutritionists recommend a tablespoon of flaxseeds a day to meet your essential, daily nutritional requirement.

Flax seeds have been consumed as food for around 6,000 years and may have very well been the world’s first cultivated super food! Flaxseeds, sometimes called linseeds, are small, brown, tan or golden-colored seeds that are the richest sources of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).

One of the most extraordinary benefits of flax seeds is that they contain high levels of mucilage gum content. The mucilage can keep food in the stomach from emptying too quickly into the small intestine which can increase nutrient absorption.

Flaxseeds are enriched with some of the most essential and basic nutrients that our body requires. These come enriched with fibre, protein, magnesium, calcium, phosphorous, lignan among other nutrients and minerals.

Flaxseeds are great for women's health; regular consumption may help reduce menopausal symptoms and can also help tackling irregular periods and menstruation-linked discomfort.
