Ground Flaxseed

Ground Flaxseed

Everyday

Ground flaxseed is a gluten-free milled seed derived from the flax plant, valued for its high concentration of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids and dietary fiber. Rich in antioxidant lignans, it serves as a versatile egg substitute in vegan baking when mixed with water and requires refrigeration to prevent oxidation of its delicate oils. The finely ground texture enhances nutrient absorption compared to whole seeds, while its mild, nutty flavor profile makes it an easy addition to smoothies, oatmeal, and baked goods.
