Flax Seeds -Originally from the Eastern Mediterranean and India, flax seeds come from a plant known as ‘common flax’, or ‘linseed’.
An oil can be made from the flax seeds, called ‘linseed oil’.
Flax seeds are used to improve digestive health and can also be used in cooking. They can be added to cereal, dough, batters, or casserole. They may also be used in salad dressings or pasta sauce.
Flax seeds have a mild, nutty flavour.
