Flaxseed, Meal

Everyday

Flaxseed meal is a nutrient-dense powder made by milling whole flaxseeds, unlocking greater absorption of its omega-3 fatty acids and fiber compared to intact seeds. This gluten-free ingredient provides a concentrated source of lignans (plant antioxidants) and is frequently used as an egg substitute in vegan baking due to its binding properties when mixed with water. The mild, nutty-flavored meal also serves as a nutritional booster for smoothies, oatmeal, and baked goods.
