What flax seed offers

Per our Flax Seed Natural (Alsi) listing, flax seed is a source of protein and fibre, and contains omega-3 fatty acid (ALA) — a fat the body doesn't produce on its own — along with lignans. These are nutrients commonly associated with heart and digestive health.

Two ways to have it

• Flax Seed Natural — raw seeds you can add to rotis, smoothies or daily meals.
• Alsi Chikki — flax seed cooked with jaggery, ghee and cardamom into a traditional brittle.
