Fargo, ND—Flax seed is center stage
at Northern Crops Institute (NCI) this week (April 28-30).
The short course is co-sponsored by AmeriFlax, the trade
organization that represents North Dakota flax producers.
Flaxseed is one of the highest plant sources
of omega-3 fat, with over 50% of the fat portion in flaxseed
comprised of an omega-3 fat called alpha-linolenic acid
(ALA), according to the Ameriflax website.
Every ounce (about 3 Tbsp.) of ground flaxseed
delivers more than 30% of the recommended daily fiber intake.
Flaxseed is about 20% protein with many “essential”
amino acids that the body cannot make on its own.
Flaxseed is literally loaded with lignans,
natural cancer-preventative phytonutrients.
Finally, flaxseed is full of vital vitamins
and mineralsfolate, vitamin E, vitamin B-6, copper,
zinc, magnesium and potassium.
