Flaxseed is considered to be nature's richest source of omega-3 fatty acids. Flax Seed Oil also contains omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty acids, B vitamins, potassium, magnesium, lecithin, fiber, zinc and protein Flaxseed also provides approximately 50% more omega-3 oils than fish oil. Because our bodies are unable to produce Omega-3s, we must get them through our diet. Use whole flaxseed in bread dough, pancake, muffin or cookie mixes or add ground flaxseed to just about anything including soups, stews, baked food, cereals and drinks.

Flaxseed fat can also help with slimming as fats high in essential fatty acids, such as flax, help to increase the body's metabolic rate which in turn helps to burn the excess, unhealthy fats in the body.
