Flaxseed Flour

Flaxseed is a rich source of fiber, protein, and minerals. Its phytoestrogen (lignan) content has a positive effect on hormone balance, promotes ovulation, and may reduce unpleasant symptoms of menopause. Consuming flaxseeds whole facilitates bowel function and aids digestion, but at the same time, nutrients are less easily absorbed because the seeds often pass through the digestive tract whole. Flaxseed meal is better absorbed, thus making the valuable nutrients more useful. It reduces stomach acid production.
