linseed

[English] plural linseeds

Linseeds or flax seeds are edible and used ground as flour, powdered and eaten with boiled rice in India, particularly Bihar. In the West, they are more likely to be sprinkled on your morning cereal for health reasons. Flax seeds contain high levels of dietary fibre including lignans, an abundance of micronutrients and omega-3 fatty acids.
