What is Flaxseed meal?

Flaxseed meal is a natural source of dietary fibre, both soluble and insoluble and mucilage which aids in digestion and regular bowel movements.

Flaxseed Meal is also an excellent source of protein, minerals, vitamins and the essential omega-3 fatty acids, specifically alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).

Flaxseed Meal is the richest source of lignans, which are both antioxidants - compounds that work to keep oxygen from reacting with damaging proteins and fats. And phytoestrogens - compounds found in plants that can affect estrogen metabolism. In fact there have been human and animal trials that demonstrate the anticancer effects of Lignans.

Flaxseed meal has a slightly nutty flavour and can vary in texture depending on the producer and/or customers preference. It is a popular ingredient used in baking, cooking, and as a nutritional supplement.

Flaxseed meal can be used as a substitute for eggs in vegan baking or as an additional source of nutrients in their diet. It also can be added to smoothies, yoghurt, oatmeal, breakfast cereal, or used as an ingredient in baked goods like bread, muffins, and pancakes.

Ground flaxseed is more easily digestible and allows for better nutrient absorption compared to whole flaxseeds.

To maintain its freshness and prevent oxidation, flaxseed meal should be stored in a cool, dark place or the refrigerator.

When using flaxseed meal, it's recommended to start with small amounts and gradually increase intake to allow the body to adjust to the high fibre content. It is also advisable to drink plenty of water when consuming flaxseed meal to aid digestion.
