Description

Whole flaxseed is a small brown seed with high nutritional value, as it is a rich source of dietary fiber, protein, and important minerals such as manganese, thiamine, and magnesium. It has a slightly sweet, nut-like flavor.

In this form, flaxseed is more difficult to digest compared to ground flaxseed, as its hard outer shell is not easily broken down by the digestive system. For this reason, it is recommended to soak the seeds in water overnight to soften their coating and make them easier to consume.

After soaking, they can be added to cereals and salads or enjoyed on their own with a little honey. Whole flaxseed is also used in multigrain bread, beverages, and as a crunchy topping over roasted vegetables, adding extra texture and nutritional value.
