Wissenswertes über "Flaxseeds"
Flaxseeds come from the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum) and are among the oldest cultivated crops.
These small brown or golden seeds are packed with dietary fiber, plant-based omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid, ALA), and lignans, a group of phytonutrients. They can be incorporated into meals such as cereals, baked goods, smoothies, or vegetarian dishes.
The high fiber content supports digestive health, regulates bowel movements, and helps relieve constipation. Soluble fibers may also help lower cholesterol levels, thereby supporting cardiovascular health. The omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseeds have anti-inflammatory effects and play a key role in brain and metabolic function.
Of particular interest are the lignans, which act as phytoestrogens in the body. Studies suggest they have antioxidant properties and may help reduce the risk of hormone-related conditions such as breast cancer. Since whole flaxseeds often pass through the digestive system undigested, consuming ground flaxseeds is recommended to maximize nutrient absorption.
