Flax Seeds
Ancient crops with modern miracles. Flax seeds are the richest plant-based source of Omega-3 fatty acids and lignans.
History & Origins
Cultivated in Babylon as early as 3000 BC, flax seeds have been celebrated for their health benefits for millennia. In the 8th century, King Charlemagne believed so strongly in their benefits that he passed laws requiring his subjects to consume them. In India, alsi (flax) has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years as a digestive and skin tonic.
