Flaxseed is one of the world's oldest cultivated plants and one of the most nutritionally powerful seeds you can add to your daily diet. Rich in omega-3 ALA, lignans and soluble fibre, these tiny golden-brown seeds punch far above their weight. Grind for maximum absorption (a coffee grinder works perfectly), then stir into oats, smoothies, yoghurt or bake into bread.
