What it is

Flax seeds are small, nutrient-dense seeds from the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum), native to the Eastern Mediterranean and India. They are typically harvested, cleaned, and dried. They can be consumed whole, ground, or pressed for oil.

Why it's used

Flax seeds are used as a source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and lignans. Manufacturers add them to foods like crackers, cereals, and baked goods to boost their nutritional profile and add a slightly nutty flavor and texture.

Health notes

Flax seeds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a good source of dietary fiber and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. Some research suggests potential benefits for heart health and digestion, though more studies are needed. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated flax seeds.

Allergen info

Flax seeds are not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
