Vilgain Flax Seeds – seeds with a high content of omega‑3 and other beneficial substances
Vilgain Flax Seeds are highly valued by the body, primarily due to their high content of omega‑3 fatty acids, which are typically found mainly in fish. Alpha‑linolenic acid, a natural component of omega‑3, contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels when at least 2 g per day (about 10 g of seeds) are consumed.
A source of vitamins and a great way to support digestion
But flax seeds have much more to offer. For example, they contain a large amount of soluble and insoluble fibre, which stimulates and supports the proliferation of healthy bacteria in the digestive tract, thereby supporting the gut microbiome and nutrient absorption. This fibre also includes so‑called lignans, which are known for their antioxidant properties. In addition, the seeds contain minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and potassium.
In porridge or salad
To make the most of all the benefits of flax seeds, they should be consumed crushed, ground, or thoroughly chewed so that all the beneficial substances are well absorbed in the digestive tract. You can eat them raw or use them to enrich muesli, porridge, salads, yogurts, pancakes, dough, or simply any dish to which you want to add extra health benefits.
