Health Benefits and Nutritional value of Flaxseed– A review

Sadia Chishty, Monika

Abstract :

Flaxseed, or linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.), comes from the flax plant, which is an annual herb. The ancient Egyptians used flaxseed as both food and medicine. The Latin name of flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) means “very useful”, and it has two basic varieties: own and yellow or golden (also known as golden linseeds). This review highlights the potential of ‘flax seed’ as a ‘neutraceutical’ and its role as a protective and therapeutic medicinal food.
