Flax is a fibre crop and food that has been farmed for thousands of years. Flax seeds range in colour from golden yellow to reddish brown and include phytoestrogens, which are related to the hormone oestrogen. Flaxseeds include soluble fibre as well as oil containing alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid. Flaxseeds have been used to treat diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, gastralgia, and renal enlargement in lupus patients. Customers are currently demonstrating a trending demand for items with high nutritional content, natural, wonderful taste, and flavour for their various purposes. People on a weight-loss regimen are increasingly ingesting flaxseed before meals because the fibre in flaxseed helps people feel less hungry. Some research shows how fibre binds with cholesterol in the colon, preventing fibre absorption. Furthermore, flaxseeds are becoming more popular for additional health benefits, such as making platelets less sticky. Flaxseed's effect on cholesterol and blood coagulation may reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, or artery hardening.

US Flax Seeds Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.
