Organic Flaxseed Powder

Description

Organic Flaxseed Powder

Flaxseed powder is a beautifully nutty-tasting flour that we retain after our oil extraction, which we often refer to as flax cake. We lightly grind and dry this cake and freshly vacuum pack it to retain all the goodness of the macro and micronutrients.

This powder is then used as an additive in a muffin, cookie, or bread mixes; sprinkled into cereals, porridges or ice-cream; included in smoothies. 

Health & Nutrition

Flax powder is a good source of lignans, protein, fibre. Flax powder has the highest levels of lignans than any other plant species. These lignans combined with the polyphenol contents, provide significant antioxidant support across the cellular and cardiovascular network. Flaxseed has a proving record as a food providing cardiovascular benefits, such as improving blood pressure and lowering fasting glucose readings. Studies have also shown flaxseed to support obesity reduction or prevention.

A common benefit of flaxseed powder is improvement of the functioning of the digestive tract. The high levels of fibre, both soluble and insoluble, help to mobilise of emptying of the lower intestines and can improve intestinal absorption of nutrients. Within the digestive system, the lignans have been proven to aid in the reduction of risk of colon cancer.

Remember also that not only is this powder a useful inclusion into the diets of humans, but animals benefit significantly from its consumption, through greater energy, increased alertness and improved coat and skin condition. Treat your pet and reap the benefits of a happier companion.
