Flaxseed is the richest dietary source for ALA Omega-3. It is 40 percent oil – 55 percent of which is ALA, an essential nutrient for good health which the human body cannot produce, and therefore must obtain from foods sources. These factors are the primary reasons for the escalation of interest in flaxseeds and flaxseed derivatives among the health-conscious within the last several years.


Aside from the overwhelming evidence of the health benefits of Omega-3, ongoing research of flax as a functional food group has revealed many additional health benefits.


• Flaxseed is by far the richest dietary source of plant lignans. Lignans, active phytonutrients classified as phytoestrogens, are part of a healthy dietary pattern.


• Flax is an important source of dietary fiber; one ounce of flax provides 28 percent of the USDA's reference daily intake of fiber.


• Flax is a source of nutritionally essential minerals and vitamins, such as, magnesium, manganese and zinc, as well as, Vitamin B6 and folate.
