Whether you're buying whole flaxseed, oil, or ground meal, make sure to look for bottles and bags that have opaque packaging, as light can damage sensitive nutrients in the flaxseed and cause its oils to go rancid. Make sure to check the "use by" date before buying.

Description
Flaxseed is derived from the flax plant. The nutrients in flaxseed include lignans, antioxidants, fiber, protein, and polyunsaturated fatty acids such as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), or omega-3. Consuming these nutrients may help lower the risk of various conditions. Flax seeds come in two basic varieties,brown and yellow or golden where mostly both these varieties have similar nutritional benefits. The key thing to know about eating flaxseed is that it is very important to grind the seeds into a powder first. Although eating the whole seed does not have any side effects but it is advised that to get the maximum benefits of these seeds and favor the process of digestion, flax seed powder should be used. To make flax seed powder all you need to do is, roast the flax seeds on a medium flame in a pan. Continue to turn it upside down to prevent burning. Once the color changes to darker tone and a roasted fragrance comes, remove the seeds from the pan. Keep the seeds aside in a plate and let it cool. Now churn it in blender to get a powder.
