Overview
Common Flax is one of oldest continuously harvested plants in
world history. Flax with its many uses has generated a rich
mythology in many cultures over the millennia. In Teutonic myths,
flax flowers were believed to serve as protection from sorcery under
the watch of the goddess Queen Hulda, who lived in a secret cave in
the mountains. In Bohemian lore, peasants believed that if
seven-year-old children danced in the flax fields, they would become
beautiful. From prehistoric times to the present, flax has been a
source for food, fiber (linen), oil, and has been used in herbal
preparations.
Flaxseed oil (also known as Linseed Oil) is one of the best
vegetarian sources of essential fatty acids. It contains
approximately 50-60% of the omega-3 essential fatty acid, known as
linolenic acid or alpha-linolenic acid, and roughly 18-20% of the
omega-6 essential fatty acid known as linoleic acid. Flaxseed oil is
nature’s richest source of linolenic acid, which is frequently
deficient in American diets. The essential fatty acids have several
important functions. They are a necessary component of cell walls
and cellular membranes throughout the body, they help in energy
production and they help regulate the breakdown of cholesterol and
triglycerides. Most Americans consume diets that contain too much of
the omega-6 fatty acids and not enough of omega-3 fatty acids.
Flaxseed oil is a very important nutritional supplement because it
is nature’s best source of omega-3 fatty acid.
