Flaxseed contains high amounts of biologically active components such as α-linolenic acid, lignans and dietary fiber. Due to its numerous nutritional properties, flaxseed has been classified as a "superfood", a food of natural origin with various bioactive components and many health-improving benefits. Flaxseed consumption can be an important factor, especially in the prevention of nutrition-related diseases. Flaxseeds are very rich in fiber and provide a good amount of protein. They are also rich in fat and are one of the best plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for heart health. Flaxseed can be used in salads, sprinkled in yogurt, smoothies and cake recipes. It can be preferred as a grain alternative for those who are sensitive to gluten.
