There is a lot of push for people to eat more omega fatty acids. One way to do this is eating fish and taking fish oils pills but another option is flax seed. Flax seeds create oil that is known as linseed / flax seed oil. Linseed has been used for paints, furniture polish, and even linoleum flooring, but we are starting to notice the health benefits. Though flax can be used in similar fashion as grains, but flax is technically not a grain. It can be ground into flour or left whole to create a whole grain bread. The great thing about flax seeds is they can be kept for months and keep their nutritional integrity. Ground flax is really only good for a short amount of time because the oils in the seed can go rancid quickly. So having a grain mill and making your own flour may be the best option for optimal nutrition. Flax is high in protein compared to wheat, and is considerably higher in omega 3 fatty acids. The omega fatty acids are incredibly important for our bodies. It is believed that omega 3 fatty acids may help protect our hearts, fight against cancer, and basically aid our over all health. If you want to learn more about the health benefits a good read is The Healing Power Of Flax. This book makes some very compelling arguments for flax's health benefits. You can look into flax seed supplements if you don't want to get a grain mill to make your own flax seed oils. Or you can easily find pre ground flax seed also but this should be stored in the refrigerator to keep the oils from going rancid as quickly as they will if they are stored in the cupboard.
