Flax Seeds

Flax seeds are small, nutrient-rich seeds derived from the flax plant, known scientifically as Linum usitatissimum. In baking, they serve as a versatile binder, providing structure and moisture to recipes. Their subtle, nutty flavor enhances everything from breads to cookies. When ground and mixed with water, flax seeds form a gel-like consistency that mimics the binding properties of eggs, making them ideal for vegan and gluten-free baking. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, they add nutritional value and a pleasant texture to baked goods.
