What is Flaxseed? |
Historically, flaxseed has been used for food and feed for animals
for several thousand years in Europe, Asia and Africa, and more recently in Canada and the
United States. Oil pressed from flaxseed also has been a basic cooking oil in China and
other countries for centuries. So-called
LINSEED OIL pressed from flaxseed is an "industrial" oil that is used for
paints, coatings, linoleum, and many other products. Linseed oil is pressed and further
extracted from flaxseed with a petroleum solvent. Industrial linseed oil is not useable
for food or feed, although the linseed oil meal remaining after linseed oil extraction is
used for animal, principally dairy, feed.
Fiber in the stem of flax plants is used for producing linen
sheets, napkins, table cloths and clothing, and for FINE PAPERS, like bible paper, other
parchment paper, and cigarette paper. The early pioneers to North America brought flax
with them for linen production. Flax production moved westward, at first for linen
production and later as a seed crop for linseed oil production. Competition from cotton,
synthetic fibers and, cheaper vegetable oils and petroleum substitutes reduced the need to
produce flaxseed for linseed oil or fiber.
Flaxseed is now produced primarily in North Dakota in the
United States. Flax acreage is increasing in recent years because of increased use for
food, and feed for PETS, SHOW ANIMALS, and other COMPANION ANIMALS.
Flaxseed in vegetarian diets is a good source of essential
fatty acids, protein, carbohydrates, the phytochemical LIGNAN, potassium and other
nutrients.

FLAX SEED IS A RICH SOURCE OF OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS AND LIGNANS.
FLAX SEED HEALTH
BENEFITS
Ground flax seed is a source of Alpha-linolenic
acid (ALA) and lignans that exhibit a number of properties that are essential to good
health.
Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is both an
essential fatty acid and an omega-3 fatty acid that can aid in:
Regulating
cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure.
Controlling immune and
inflammatory disorders.
Lignans are plant substances that, when
ingested, are broken down in the digestive system into two main lignans, enterodiol and
enteolactone. These lignans circulate thru the liver and are subsequently excreted in the
urine. Lignans are thought to bind to estrogen receptors in the body and reduce the risk
of hormonally related cancers. Flax seed is the richest know source of lignans.
Ground Flax Seed is also rich in protein, B
vitamins, vitamin E, beta-carotene, calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese and zinc. The fiber benefits of flax seed can only be found in the ground flax seed.
Typical ground flax seed intake: 25 to 30 grams / day
click here for Flax Seed Nutritional Data
For more useful
information on the benefits go to www.healthandage.com
and do a search for Flaxseed
Note:
For optimum nutrient value, use ground flax seeds instead of flax oil. Flax oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, but it does NOT contain the
beneficial lignans and fiber. The lignans and fiber are removed in the production process
to increase shelf life. |
