Superfoods and seeds have monopolized the interest of everyone who loves healthy eating and not without reason, as they are one of the healthiest food categories to include in your daily diet.
Among them, and one of the most popular, the flaxseed.
The main thing I want you to remember, in order to get the fiber and all the phytochemicals and nutrients from flaxseed (and all seeds), is that you need to eat it ground. That is, the seed must be broken to take advantage of all the nutrients.
