• NUTRITION
  • Considered by many to be one of the super cancer fighting foods, linseeds are a great source of fibre and omega 3 as well as B vitamins and lignan compounds that may play a protective part in fighting against breast, prostate and colorectal cancers. They are also believed to be beneficial in the treatment of high blood cholesterol and high blood pressure. Linseeds are a good source of magnesium.

NB Linseeds are a really excellent source of fibre. As such they can be used as an effective laxative...but it’s best to soak them first and you must take plenty of liquid with them if treating constipation.
