Flax seeds are a versatile and healthy addition to your dishes. Roasted flax seeds contain Omega 3 fatty acids that your body cannot produce. Eating regularly roasted flax seeds allows for a good supply of Omega 3 fatty acids, fibers and proteins. You can consume them whole, ground, or in an oily form. The roasting and grinding of flax seeds breaks the outer shell, otherwise difficult to break by chewing. The nutrients are contained within the seeds, which is why breaking the shell makes them easier to assimilate. Whole flax seeds simply pass through the digestive system intact allowing very little absorption of its beneficial nutrients.
