In their raw form, flaxseeds usually range from amber\/yellow\/gold in color to tan\/brown\/reddish brown.<\/p>\n<p>White or green flaxseeds have typically been harvested before full maturity, and black flaxseeds have typically been harvested long after full maturity. These kind of flaxseeds are best avoided.<\/p>\n<p>About 42% of flaxseed is oil and more than 70% of that oil is comprised of healthy polyunsaturated fatty acids. Flaxseed contains 55-57% of the essential omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and approximately 28% total dietary fibre including both soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre can lower blood cholesterol levels and help moderate blood sugar, while insoluble fibre moves the stool through the colon more quickly, helping bowel movements and improving laxation.<\/p>\n<p>Flaxseed is one of the richest plant sources of lignans, providing up to 800 times more lignans than most other foods. Lignans are phytoestrogens \u2013 compounds that have been shown in studies of animals and in early human clinical trials to help protect against certain kinds of cancer, particularly cancers of the breast and colon, by blocking tumour formation.<\/p>\n<p>Flaxseed contains about 20% protein and has an amino acid profile similar to that of soybean protein which is considered to be one of the most nutritious of the plant proteins. Flaxseed, like other oilseeds is gluten-free.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Health Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>May improve cholesterol and lower triglycerides<\/li>\n<li>May lower blood pressure and reduce heart disease<\/li>\n<li>May help control blood sugar levels<\/li>\n<li>May aid weight aid loss through appetite control<\/li>\n<li>May promote regular bowel movements<\/li>\n<li>Anti-inflammatory properties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>How to Use:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Add 1-2 tbsp of whole flaxseed to whole grain porridges and sprinkled on salads and on rolls, muffins, bagels, and breads prior to baking to give a pleasing appearance and added crunch. Whole flaxseed can also be folded into bread doughs before baking. Flaxseeds are best consumed ground as our bodies cannot access the nutrients if they are eaten whole and they will pass through undigested.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>References:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/whfoods.com<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/authoritynutrition.com[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brown flax seeds provide one of the highest levels of plant Omega 3 fatty acids, as well protein, fibre and antioxidants which are essential for good health.
