Golden Flaxseed

Not only are flaxseeds one of nature's richest sources of Omega 3 fatty acids, but they also contain lignans, fibre like compounds which provide antioxidant protection. These tiny golden seeds are absolute power houses of nutrition, if you're going to use the term 'superfood' then flax should definitely fall into this category. Just three tablespoons of Flax seed is as rich in Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids as 1lb of fish, and contains half the daily intake recommendation of fibre.
