Flax Seed Oil

There has been a large push for people to consume more omega fatty acids. One way to do this is eating fish and taking fish oils pills but another option is flax seed. Flax seeds create an oil known as flax seed / linseed oil. Linseed has been used for paints, furniture polish, and even linoleum flooring, but we are starting to notice the health benefits.

Flax can be used similar to grains but technically it isn't a grain. It can be left whole to make a whole grain bread, or it can be ground up into a flour. The great thing about flax seeds is they can be kept for months and keep their nutritional integrity. Ground flax is really only good for a short amount of time because the oils in the seed can go rancid quickly. For making your own flour the best option is to have a grain mill.

Flax is high in protein compared to wheat, and is considerably higher in omega 3 fatty acids. Omega fatty acids are incredibly important for our body. It is believe that omega 3 helps to fight against cancer, help to protect our hearts, and overall aiding of our health. You can learn more about the health benefits of flax by reading The Healing Power Of Flax. This book makes some strong cases for the flax seed health benefits.

If you don’t relish the idea of having to keep a grain mill and flax seed around your house there are plenty of flax seed supplements that you can purchase. Or you can easily find pre ground flax seed also but this should be stored in the refrigerator to keep the oils from going rancid as quickly as they will if they are stored in the cupboard.
