Benefits:
-
WHAT IS BROWN LINSEED? Linseeds (also known as Flaxseeds) generally come in two varieties, brown linseed and golden linseed, which are both as colourful as the name suggests. They differ little, if at all, in texture, however, the golden variety is definitely more flavourful. Both varieties are a great source of wheat-free fibre and (especially in their ground form), a great vegetarian source of the omega-3 essential fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
-
WHY SHOULD YOU GET BROWN LINSEED? If you're looking to up your essential fatty acid intake (which you should be), look no further, because linseed contains 42% fat! This means that every 10g tablespoon contains about 4.3g of fat, which is made up of 73% polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as omega-6 fatty acids & omega-3 fatty acids, & 27% monounsaturated & saturated fatty acids. Our bodies can't make ALA, so it is essential that we get them from our diet & linseed are an easy way of increasing your intake.
-
HIGH IN FIBRE: This is especially important as most of us don't eat the recommended amount of fibre, but adding linseed to your diet is an easy, convenient way of increasing your intake. Start with a teaspoon, and increase in size slowly until you're having 1-2 tablespoons, spread throughout the day.
-
WAYS TO USE: A great source of soluble & insoluble fibres. Flaxseed gel can be a great addition to your diet. Take a cup of water into a bowl, & add flaxseeds to it. Let it stay like that until morning. In the morning, strain the liquid & consume it first thing on an empty stomach. Rich with nutty notes, they make a crunchy and nutritious addition to sweet and savoury foods alike. Sprinkle onto breakfast cereals or blend into a smoothie for a fibre-rich start to the day.
-
PROCEDURE: It's really important to increase your fluid intake along with your fibre, aim for 8-10 cups of fluid each day to compliment this regime. Why not try mixing linseeds with a glass of water? Killing two birds with one stone! If you wanted something with a bit more oomph than water, Add them to salads, muesli, porridge, smoothies for a quick & convenient way of nourishing your body. Linseed have a subtle nutty, earthy flavour that lends itself well to both savoury & sweet foods alike, however I find they make especially enjoyable Granola Cookies.
