Benefits of Flaxseed

Flaxseeds are so healthy for you that if you're not already consuming them, you'll want to start. First of all, for every two tablespoons of flaxseeds, you'll get 4 grams of protein, along with 1.5 grams of soluble fiber and 4.5 grams of insoluble fiber for a whopping total of 6 grams of fiber!

Plus, you'll get 6% of your daily iron requirements and 8% of your daily calcium requirements.

Flaxseeds also contain omega-3 fatty acids along with vitamin B6, magnesium, folate, zinc and manganese.

If you'd like to start including flaxseeds in your diet but not sure where to start, try adding them to smoothies or try these Energy Bites.

I store my flaxseed in the freezer to keep them from becoming rancid. Once I open a bag, I pour the remaining seeds into a Tupperware bowl and keep them refrigerated.
