Description:

Brown flax and golden flax (sometimes called yellow flax) are the two basic varieties of flax, and they are similar in their nutritional composition. In their raw form, flaxseeds usually range from amber/yellow/gold in color to tan/brown/reddish brown.

White or green flaxseeds have typically been harvested before full maturity, and black flaxseeds have typically been harvested long after full maturity. These kind of flaxseeds are best avoided.

About 42% of flaxseed is oil and more than 70% of that oil is comprised of healthy polyunsaturated fatty acids. Flaxseed contains 55-57% of the essential omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and approximately 28% total dietary fibre including both soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre can lower blood cholesterol levels and help moderate blood sugar, while insoluble fibre moves the stool through the colon more quickly, helping bowel movements and improving laxation.

Flaxseed is one of the richest plant sources of lignans, providing up to 800 times more lignans than most other foods. Lignans are phytoestrogens – compounds that have been shown in studies of animals and in early human clinical trials to help protect against certain kinds of cancer, particularly cancers of the breast and colon, by blocking tumour formation.

Flaxseed contains about 20% protein and has an amino acid profile similar to that of soybean protein which is considered to be one of the most nutritious of the plant proteins. Flaxseed, like other oilseeds is gluten-free.

 

Chia seeds have become one of the most popular superfoods in the health community. They are easy to digest when prepared properly, and are a very versatile ingredient that adds easily to recipes. These tiny seeds can expand to hold about 10 times their dry weight in liquid. When they absorb liquid, the seeds swell into gel-like globules reminiscent of miniature tapioca balls.

Chia seeds are a quick and easy-to-use source of protein, healthy fats (Omega-3), dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, all rolled into one neat package.

Chia seed is nutrient dense and packs a punch of energy boosting power. Aztec warriors ate chia seeds to give them high energy and endurance. They said just 1 spoonful of chia could sustain them for 24 hours. Chia means “strength” in the Mayan language, and they were known as “runners food” because runners and warriors would use them as fuel while running long distances or during battle.

Recent research has found that the chia seed benefits are even greater than we realized. Chia seed benefits include promoting healthy skin, reducing signs of aging, hunger control and weight loss, supporting the heart and digestive system, building stronger bones and muscles and more. Now they have even been linked to healing diabetes.

How to Use Golden Flax Seed:

Add 1-2 tbsp of whole flaxseed to whole grain porridges and sprinkled on salads and on rolls, muffins, bagels, and breads prior to baking to give a pleasing appearance and added crunch. Whole flaxseed can also be folded into bread doughs before baking. Flaxseeds are best consumed ground as our bodies cannot access the nutrients if they are eaten whole and they will pass through undigested.

Add 1-2 tbsp of dry chia seeds to smoothies, juices, desserts, cereals, oatmeal, yogurt, or sprinkled on top of a salad, or use to make chia puddings, porridge, sauce and dressings. To make chia gel, use one part chia to six parts water.
