Why Choose Flax Seeds?

Supports Digestive Wellness: Flax Seeds: These are rich in soluble and insoluble fiber, which promotes healthy digestion and regularity. Fiber also offers satiety (a sense of fullness) which is great for practicing mindfulness with food.

Toss them in smoothies, sprinkle on salads, fold into baked goods or stir into morning porridge! Plant-based baking often uses ground flaxseeds as an egg replacer, which means they come in handy when making vegan recipes too.

Mineral & Antioxidant Content: They contain important minerals like magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus that are required and help the overall functioning of the body. They are also a whole food source of lignans, natural anti-oxidants only found in plant foods.
