Organic Alsi (Flax Seeds), Dubdengreen (250gm)
Flaxseeds are also known as linseed in many parts of the world. These seeds come from flax, one of the oldest fibre crops in the world, which is known to have been cultivated in ancient Egypt and China.
The scientific name of flax is linum usitatissimum, which reveals a lot about the use of this plant. Linum which sounds like linen refers to the fabric that has been made from flax for over 3000 years and usitatissimum means "of great use" in Latin. Therefore, the flax plant has not only served as a food source but also as a source of cloth for many centuries.
Flaxseeds are flat, oval-shaped seeds that are slightly larger than sesame seeds. These seeds come in two basic varieties, brown flax and golden flax (sometimes called yellow flax) both of which have similar nutritional profile.
Flaxseed oil is a rich source of healing compounds. It has been used for centuries to prevent and treat heart diseases, inflammatory disorders, and hormone-related problems.
