Flax of the LEADER variety consists of cleaned flax seeds produced in Ukraine and packaged in convenient 500-gram portions. This product is distinguished by its high quality and efficiency, making it in demand both in the food industry and for household use. Flax seeds have a sweet taste without a pronounced smell, which allows them to be used in various culinary recipes.
Golden flax, to which this variety belongs, contains more useful substances compared to brown flax, although it requires more careful care during cultivation. Flax seeds are leaders in the content of lignans—phytoestrogens with a powerful antioxidant effect, which contribute to the prevention of oncological diseases, and also possess antibacterial and antiviral properties. This makes flax not only nutritious but also a healthy product.
Flax seeds contain a significant amount of plant fats and polyunsaturated fatty acids Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9, as well as protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Flax oil is distinguished by its high content of Omega-3 (up to 57%) and Omega-6 (about 16%), which contributes to maintaining the health of the cardiovascular system and general metabolism. In cooking, flax seeds are used as an addition to salads, appetizers, flour for baking, as well as a healthy breading for frying meat, which expands the possibilities of their use in the diet.
