flaxseeds
Tiny brown seeds
Flaxseeds are the small, flat, oval seeds of the flax plant, typically brown or golden in color.
They are eaten for their nutritional value, being rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and lignans.
Flaxseeds are often ground before eating to improve digestibility and added to smoothies, baked goods, or cereals.
I sprinkle ground flaxseed on my oatmeal.
Flaxseed oil is pressed from the seeds for culinary and supplement use.
