Benefits of flaxseeds

Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is flat and oval. Its color varies from light yellow to dark brown and has a pleasant nutty flavor. We extract flaxseed flour and oil from it.
Flaxseeds are a very complete food that stands out for being one of the greatest sources of omega-3, fiber and bioactive substances, as well as proteins, vitamins and minerals.
The nutritional richness makes flaxseeds stand out for these beneficial properties:

• Improve gastrointestinal transit and digestive processes because of the content of non-soluble fiber and mucilages.
• Antioxidant action, which is mainly due to the presence of lignans, phenolic acids and flavonoids.
• Anti-inflammatory action: they are useful in cases of rheumatoid arthritis, as they are one of the vegetable sources with the greatest content of alpha-linoleic acid (omega-3).
• Help control weight and reduce abdominal fat due to its rich content of fiber and healthy fatty acids, which produce a sensation of satiety.
• Protect your cardiovascular health. Lipid-lowering action as they reinforce the elasticity of blood vessels and prevent the formation of fat deposits in the internal wall of arteries.
• Hypoglycemic action. Thanks to its content of mucilages that reduce the intestinal absorption of carbohydrates.
