They have enjoyed renewed popularity for several decades, primarily due to the growing interest in healthy food. The undisputed world leader in their production is Canada, but they are also grown in Europe. The golden variety of flax seeds is grown mainly in the USA, more precisely in North Dakota.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy is flaxseed so valuable to our body?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGolden flax seeds are an incredible source of omega-3 fatty acids, also known as alpha-linolenic acid. A tablespoon of the seeds contains nearly 50 calories and a little more than 2g of protein, as well as 2.1g of the aforementioned alpha-linolenic acids. This amount contains their daily recommended dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGolden flaxseed is also extremely rich in soluble fiber, the primary task of which is to cleanse our digestive tract and prevent constipation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, golden linseed is a source of lignans, protein, vitamins B and E, beta-carotene, calcium, potassium and magnesium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAnd how do you eat it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe optimal amount of flaxseed that should be taken during the day is 2-3 teaspoons. However, it is best to grind the flaxseeds yourself just before consumption, because our body will not digest whole and dry seeds well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince ground flaxseed has no taste, we can add it to virtually any dish, e.g. yoghurts, salads, fruit and vegetable cocktails, home-baked bread or cookies, muesli, sauces, soups, and even as a topping for sandwiches or salads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is best to consume flaxseed after soaking it in water. The seeds increase in volume and a jelly is created. Pour 250 ml of hot water over 1-2 teaspoons of the seeds, cover with a saucer for 15 minutes, cool and drink. Drink the resulting infusion in the morning and evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is best to store soaked flax seeds in a dark and cool place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also prepare a decoction of flax seeds. In this case, pour a glass of lukewarm water over a tablespoon of seeds and cook covered on low heat for about 15 minutes. After that time, set aside to cool. Drink half a glass twice a day, preferably between meals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAnd any other use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA decoction of flaxseed is also an excellent hair mask. Pour a glass of water over 2-3 teaspoons of the seeds and boil for a few minutes. Strain the resulting \"gel\" and apply to washed, damp hair. Massage for a while and leave for 30-40 minutes. After that time, rinse thoroughly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf we have some \"gel: from the grains left, we can also soak our nails in it for 10-15 minutes. After such treatments, they will become hard and strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGround flax seeds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou won't find ground flaxseed in our store. Why? The answer is simple. Ground flaxseed oxidizes very quickly and will lose most of its properties before it reaches your kitchen. Fortunately, there are many ways to grind it at home.
