Organic Roasted Golden Flax Seed

Uses:

Flax is a grain that is well known for its many health benefits. In fact, many doctors recommend flax seed for people with high cholesterol, arthritis and many other health conditions. Flax seed is not a supplement, but a pure, natural, low carb, low fat, high fiber, and heart-healthy food. Flax Seed is also a great source for Omega 3. Recently American consumers developed a real interest in the health-promoting properties of flax seed and its oil. Flax seed and the flour derived from flax seed are increasingly being used in breads, cereals, and bakery products to provide a pleasant nutty flavor and to increase the nutritional and health benefits of the final product. The present popularity of flax was spurred by the research findings that flax is a rich source of omega-3 fat. Clinical studies have shown that ground flax seed is useful for protection against cancer and for lowering the risk of heart disease in patients with elevated blood cholesterol levels. Flax seed also has been reported to have glucose-reducing effects.
