About Seeds, flaxseed
Flaxseed's most remarkable nutritional quality is fiber - the content here is exceptionally high, much of it soluble, which slows digestion and supports gut health. Fat is substantial and skews heavily toward omega-3 fatty acids, particularly ALA. Protein is decent for a seed. Whole flaxseeds pass through the digestive system largely intact, so grinding them first is necessary to actually absorb the nutrients. Add ground flax to oatmeal, smoothies, or baked goods.
