flax seed
Tiny oil producer
Flax seed is the small, shiny brown or golden seed of the flax plant, eaten for its nutritional value—particularly omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
Ground flax seed is added to smoothies, baked goods, and cereals: She sprinkled flax seed on her oatmeal.
Also spelled flaxseed.
Flax itself is grown for its fibers, used to make linen.
