Flax Seeds – 400g
Flax seeds are a nutritional powerhouse packed with omega-3 fatty acids (ALA), fiber, and lignans, which help lower cholesterol, reduce cancer risk, improve digestion, and manage blood sugar. For maximum nutritional absorption, flax seeds should be consumed ground, as whole seeds often pass through the body undigested. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
