What is Flax?
Flax microgreens are the young shoots of the flax plant, famous for their mild, nutty flavour and impressive nutritional profile. Despite their small size, these microgreens are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, and antioxidants, offering numerous health benefits. They are a convenient way to add essential nutrients to your diet and support overall wellness.
