Flaxseeds come from the flax plant also known as Linum usitatissimum. They are high in fibre, protein, omega-3 fatty acid and several vitamins and minerals – most notably thiamine (B1), which is responsible for energy metabolism and overall cell function.
Before flaxseeds became the omega and fibre superfood that we all know and love, the flaxseed plant was used predominantly to create textiles (linen) and rope, as its fibers are up to 3 times stronger than cotton. The earliest dating of the use of linen is from Egypt with mummy embalming.
So, what’s the difference between linseeds and flaxseeds?
There is no notable difference nutritionally between flaxseeds and linseeds. Their macronutrient levels are the same, however there is research surfacing to suggest that micronutrients may vary slightly.
Currently it is a terminology difference used by the USA as opposed to the UK and European nations. This has spread across the world, and various countries have adopted their preferred distinction.
