Flaxseed

These little, brown & golden, nutty-flavoured super seeds are a great source of soluble fibre, Flax seeds are also packed with omega-3 fatty acid.

Uses: Flax seed shells are hard, so grind them in a blender or coffee grinder first. Otherwise the seeds can pass through your body undigested, prohibiting the absorption of the seeds’ valuable omega-3 content. Add the coarse or finely ground super seeds to smoothies, shakes, yogurt, oatmeal, cereal, casseroles, and when baking.
