Nutty in taste, versatile in use and full of valuable nutrients: yes, you can say with a clear conscience that our linseeds are real regional powerhouses. Appreciated for thousands of years, they can be found not only in modern cuisine but also in traditional recipes. Their fine crunchiness and subtle, slightly earthy taste make them a popular ingredient for muesli, breads and savory dishes today.

The nutritional profile of whole linseeds is particularly noteworthy. They are rich in fiber, which is responsible for a pleasant feeling of satiety and good digestion. They also contain valuable omega-3 fatty acids, which are an excellent plant-based alternative to fish. You can enjoy them whole or crushed. While whole seeds have a crunchy bite, the valuable ingredients in ground flaxseed are absorbed directly by the body.

Did you also know that linseed is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world and was already highly valued in ancient times? In the past, these little all-round geniuses were even considered a remedy and were used in various traditional healing formulas. Fortunately, we have rediscovered them in recent years and it is now impossible to imagine a conscious diet without them. Whether as a delicious topping on porridge, as a nutty addition to muesli or as a valuable ingredient in homemade bread, flaxseed combines tradition with modern indulgence and is ideal for your balanced diet. You can buy linseed from us without additives and 100% vegan.
