Flax seed, also known as linseed, is a small, flat, oval-shaped seed that comes in two varieties: brown and golden. These tiny seeds are packed with nutrients and boast a mild, nutty flavor. The texture of whole flax seeds is slightly crunchy, while ground flax seed has a more powdery consistency. Often used to add a boost of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and lignans to your diet, flaxseed is a versatile ingredient for baking and cooking and is a popular addition for those looking to enhance their overall well-being. It is increasingly used for weight management and digestive wellness. You may also find it under other names such as flaxseeds.

Flax seeds are best stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to prevent rancidity. Whole flax seeds can be stored at room temperature for up to a year. Ground flaxseed is more prone to spoilage due to the exposed oils and should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness and nutritional value for up to six months.
