History
The Latin name of flax, Linum usitatissumum, fully describes the versatility and usefulness of this plant. The word linum is derived from the Celtic word Lin, which translates as fibre. Usitatissimum translates as useful. Flax itself is considered a so-called ‚founding agricultural crop‘, as it is one of the first domesticated plants ever. Its cultivation probably began in the Fertile Crescent, which is associated with the place where civilisation began by virtue of its fertility. However, archaeological excavations suggest that flax was used by humans much earlier. Due to its popularity and low maintenance, it became a popular cultural plant, not only in what is now Asia. It was also popular with the ancient Greeks, who documented its beneficial effects in detail in their Greek writings. The effects of flaxseed were also promoted by one of the most famous physicians of antiquity, Hippocrates, who prescribed it for digestive problems.
Origin and Cultivation
Flax is native to India, where it has been cultivated for thousands of years due to the favourable conditions there. This annual oil seed grows up to one metre high and produces blue, pink or white flowers. The fruit of this plant is an enclosed capsule in which the seeds are contained. The seeds are mainly used for food purposes. The residual material is not disposed of but is further used for the production of linen fabrics or paper.
Composition and properties
Depending on the naturally occurring substances, flaxseed has many beneficial effects. Flaxseed is a natural source of high levels of fibre, fat and protein. The seed contains both soluble and insoluble fibre, which gives the seed its typical swelling properties. In addition, it is a high source of vegetable fats, which are mainly made up of polyunsaturated fatty acids. For maximum absorption, flaxseeds should be chewed or crushed thoroughly before consumption.
Instructions for use
Flaxseeds can be consumed both raw and cooked. The seeds can be added to a variety of porridges, smoothies, yoghurts, spreads, baked sweet and savoury products. Freshly ground flaxseed has a pleasant nutty aroma which makes them an ideal ingredient for a variety of vegetable salads.
