Flax is a small grain with a nutty taste. Flaxseed is the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids. Only ground flaxseed provides the health benefits of fiber in addition to the omega-3s and lignans. It is the combination of these three elements which studies have found to be most beneficial. People may be familiar with the fact that omega-3s are also found in cold water fatty fish including salmon. Flax is also available as a supplement and an oil.
