Flax seeds are an excellent gluten-free addition to baked muffins, cookies and pastries, or even salad bowls and bread mixes. Swirl flax seeds into smoothies, add to a granola dish or use as a substitute for oils and eggs in recipes. You can also make vegan burgers with flax seeds as they will give the filling a meaty flavour.

Flax seeds are high in the amino acids arginine and glutamine which are important for heart and immune system health. They are a good plant-based source for omega-3 fatty acids and are also rich in minerals such as thiamine, copper, magnesium and phosphorous. Thiamine is a B vitamin that is vital for maintaining normal metabolism and nerve function. Copper is important for growth and development. Magnesium serves a similar function and is present in many types of grains, seeds and nuts. Finally, phosphorous contributes to good bone and tissue health and is usually found in protein-dense foods.
