Flaxseed
\nHistory and Curiosities
\nFlaxseed has its origins in the areas between the Persian Gulf, the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. The first time flax seeds were grown in Egypt and Ethiopia, where they were highly valued for their textile fiber. The term lino, in fact, comes from the Greek linon which means \"thread\".
\nThe men spun the fibers of linen and then weaving and painting them; the ancient Egyptians used them to wrap mummies.
\n\n
\n\n
Together with textile fiber, flax was cultivated to obtain linseed oil, an oil with a thousand beneficial properties. Cooked linseed oil was used by the ancients in the composition of tempera to make the colors brighter and easier to use on canvas.
\nIn addition to its use in the technical field and in the food field, flax was often also used in the medical field for its many properties.

\nIn addition to being a source of alpha linolenic acid, flaxseeds contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber forms a gel in the body that helps slow down the absorption of fats and ensures a greater sense of satiety. Insoluble fiber ensures regular intestinal functioning, helping the digestion of food.

\nIn the cosmetic field, seed oil is among the best known. Many people already know that, when applied to the skin, linseed oil guarantees hydration and elasticity to the tissues. The oil can be used both on the face and on the body and in particular in the most dehydrated areas, such as elbows and knees.
\nFlaxseeds are also a panacea for hair. Minerals and omega 3 are precious elements to regenerate any type of hair, damaged, dry, broken and dull.
