Flaxseed, also known as Linseed, is an annual plant that’s grown in temperate and tropical regions for its fiber and seeds. The seeds provide nutrition, have medicinal effects, and can be used to make linseed oil paint, while the stem of the plant is used to make linen thread for fabrics. Flaxseeds have been consumed for over 6,000 years, making them one of the world’s first superfoods!
