Nutrition for Humans
The healing properties of flax can be referenced
in Greek and Roman writings as far back as 650 BC. In fact, the 8th
century emperor, Charlemagne, considered flax so important for health
that he passed regulations requiring flax consumption. (Vaisey-Genser
and Morris, 2003 and Anonymous, 2005)
Over the past few decades, extensive scientific research has revealed
numerous nutritional benefits of flaxseed due primarily to its fat,
lignan, dietary fiber, and protein content.
