History and Usage:

These certified-organic flax seeds are carefully selected for their nutritional content and superior taste. They undergo a cold-milling process that chops the seed without heating the mill blades, enabling the essential fatty acids to remain intact. Whereas many products crush the flax, causing some of the oil to be lost, these seeds are not, causing the precious oil to be retained. Additionally, the flax seeds are vacuum-packed in 1 lb. lined, resealable foil bag that helps retain freshness.

Flax seeds offer both lignans and essential fatty acids (EFA's) that support the health of the human body. EFA's are necessary for good health maintenance because they act as building blocks for the cell membranes and support the generation of hormone-like substances within the body that are used for energy metabolism.

Flax seed is the richest available source of lignans. Bacteria ferments these plant lignans in the colon into another form of lignans that can be used by the body. Lignans are similar in structure to estrogens (phytoestrogens) and they help the body to balance estrogen levels.
