Flaxseeds care and soothe your stomach. This is based on the high fiber content of flaxseed (approx. 40%) and above all on the soluble fiber it contains. When a flaxseed comes into contact with liquid, the mucilage in its seed coat swells and pushes out from under the coat into the surrounding liquid. This is how linseed mucus is created, which takes care of the digestive system.
Flaxseeds also contain valuable linseed oil approx. 30%. As much as 77% of the fatty acids in the oil are polyunsaturated fatty acids. Flaxseed oil is one of the best sources of alpha-linolenic acid. In order for the body to be able to utilize these good fatty acids, flaxseeds must be chewed well or crushed just before use.

You can use flax seeds as they are for baking, porridge, as an ingredient in muesli or soaked for stomach care. You can also grind them, but only do it right before use. Flaxseeds are best stored whole.
