What it is

Flax sprouts are young flax plants grown from flax seeds. They are harvested shortly after germination, typically within a week or two, when the plant is still tender and developing its first leaves. They are usually consumed raw or lightly processed.

Why it's used

Health notes

Flax sprouts are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of fiber and nutrients. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flax and its components, but specific evaluations for flax sprouts may vary. Research suggests flaxseed consumption may have benefits, but more studies are needed on sprouts specifically.
