Common Flax - Plant Characteristics
Common flax [Latin: Linum usitatissimum] is one of the oldest cultivated plants, originating from the Middle East and used in many fields for thousands of years. It is found only in dedicated crops and is extremely rare in the wild. It is recognizable by its characteristic blue flowers, which beautifully decorate the landscape from June to July. Flax can reach a height of 70 cm and its fruits are small seed pods each containing 10 to 12 seeds. This makes it a highly valued phytotherapeutic resource.

Brown Flaxseeds - A Treasure of Nutritional Values
Brown flaxseeds contain

• omega-3 fatty acids, also known as alpha-linolenic acids, which have a positive effect on circulation and anti-inflammatory properties
• lignans, characterized by antioxidant properties, which can reduce the risk of cancer and have a positive effect on overall health - it should be noted that flaxseeds contain the highest amount of lignans of all plant raw materials
• plant proteins rich in amino acids such as arginine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid
• fibers, which have a positive effect on intestinal peristalsis
• vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin E, and vitamin K
• minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and zinc.

To Remember
Defatted brown flaxseeds are obtained by defatting brown flaxseeds. This means that such a product is characterized by a lower content of substances "extracted" from the seeds during the pressing process. This does not mean that the product is worthless - it has other advantages, but it should be remembered that it has slightly different characteristics.

Flaxseeds - When Should They Be Used?

• High Cholesterol - a number of available studies indicate that including flaxseeds in the diet can naturally reduce blood cholesterol levels.
• The proper functioning of the digestive system - the fibers contained in these small seeds have a positive effect on intestinal peristalsis and serve as food for the good bacteria living in the intestines, while the ALA fatty acid has a protective effect on the mucosa and reduces intestinal inflammation.
• Cancer Prevention - flaxseeds are rich in antioxidants, compounds that reduce the risk of cancer development.
• Weight Loss - a balanced diet enriched with flaxseeds is recommended in cases of overweight or obesity, due to its richness in nutrients and the fact that flaxseeds added to meals induce a quicker feeling of satiety, thus curbing appetite.
