Flaxseed meal is a nutritious food product made from the seeds of the flax plant, which are cold-pressed to remove oil, resulting in a flour-like substance rich in fiber and protein. It is typically brown or golden in color and has a fine, slightly grainy texture. Flaxseed meal is known for its health benefits, including high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, and dietary fiber. It can be used as an ingredient in various recipes, including baked goods, smoothies, and cereals, providing a nutty flavor and enhancing the nutritional profile of meals. Additionally, flaxseed meal is often employed as a substitute for eggs in vegan cooking due to its ability to bind ingredients together when mixed with water.
