They can be purchased whole, ground or milled, roasted, or processed to make flaxseed oil. Flax seeds are a strong source of protein and have a high fibre content. They are one of the best plant-based sources of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and are also high in fat. Lignans are a class of minerals found in flax seeds that have potent estrogenic and antioxidant activities. They could aid in the prevention of various cancers as well as breast and prostate cancer.Flax seeds' high fibre content has the potential to significantly improve heart health by lowering cholesterol.
