One of the most important nutritional aspects of Flaxseed is that it is extremely rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids. These fatty acids are a vital defense against inflammation in the human body. Studies have shown that inflammation causes many debilitating and terminal diseases such as heart disease, arthritis, asthma, diabetes, and cancer. Inflammation is also exacerbated in the body by having too little Omega-3 in relation to Omega-6 fatty acids; flaxseeds will definitely help the Omega 3/6 balance by equalizing these two ratios. Flaxseeds are also loaded with essential vitamins and minerals including vitamins B, magnesium, and manganese. It is also high in fiber, which is responsible for lowering cholesterol effects and stabilizing blood sugar and intestines function. Finally, Flaxseed is also loaded with many antioxidants which also contributes to protection against cancer and heart disease.
It essential not to expose Flaxseeds to a large amount of heat in order for it to maintain their essential nutritional value intact; therefore, our Raw Food desserts and Raw Cinnamon Rolls are dehydrated at a temperature below 115 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, flaxseed must not be exposed to continuous light; therefore, our packages are a deliberate dark brown color in order to maintain our Raw Food desserts and Raw Cinnamon Roll’s essential nutritional value intact.
