Organic Flax sprout (Linum usitatissimum) , offered by the seed company Weston Seeds
Flaxseeds are a nutrient powerhouse and an excellent source of antioxidants. Rich in protein (20-35%), omega-3, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium, they contain all the essential amino acids. These mucilaginous seeds support the digestive system with their high fibre content, while helping to maintain low cholesterol levels. Omega-3 fatty acids offer anti-inflammatory properties and benefits for high blood pressure.
