Organic raw linseed
Linseed is a real concentrate of Omega-3 and other valuable substances. 100 g of linseed contains as much as 27.3 g of fibre! It is important that 20-40 percent are soluble. Linseed is rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, which are particularly valuable for eye health, as well as other essential antioxidants such as phenolic compounds and flavonoids. The fibre, protein and fat in these seeds help you feel full for longer.
Linseed is rich in vitamins and minerals: vitamin B6, folate, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, calcium, iron, zinc, copper and selenium. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for every one of our cells and the entire nervous system.
How to use?
Linseed is recommended to be ground and consumed with a large amount of liquid (water, juice). However, if you are going to use whole flaxseeds, it is advisable to soak them in warm water before use. The beneficial properties of linseed are highlighted and enhanced when mixed with syrup or jam.
It is important to stress that linseed oil is not suitable for heating, as it not only loses nutrients when heated, but also releases trans fats that are harmful to the body at high temperatures.
Grind flaxseeds and use them in porridges, fermented drinks and healthy green smoothies. You can also add them to salads, sauces, stews or soups just before eating. It is important not to heat the flaxseeds, as this will cause them to lose all their good qualities. It is best to add them at the end of baking or before serving.
The ground seeds will keep for up to six months in a sealed container and will not lose their nutritional properties.
