Flax seeds (Linum usitatissimum), also known as common flax or lin-seeds, are small oil seeds that originated in the Middle East thousands of years ago.  Lately, they have been gaining popularity as a health food. This is due to their high content of heart-healthy omega-3, fiber and other unique plant compounds.  Flax seeds have been linked to health benefits such as improved digestive function and a reduced risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer.

They are very easy to incorporate into the diet. Grinding them is the best way to make the most of their health benefits. Flax seeds are usually brown or yellow. They are sold whole, ground/milled or roasted, and are often processed into flax seed oil.
