Linseed – properties
Flax seeds ( Latin: Semen Lini Flax, English: linseed ) are a plant raw material widely used in phytotherapy.

The dominant fraction is triglycerides of alpha-linolenic acid ALA (40-60%) and linoleic acid. In addition, flax seeds contain about 25% protein, dietary fiber, phytosterols, vitamins, minerals, 0.1-1.5% cyanogenic glucosides and lignans.
