Flaxseeds (or linseeds) and their oil are one of the richest source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which our body doesn't produce on its own. The problem today is that majority of people consume too much Omega-6 fatty acids and not enough Omega-3- the balance between both is absolutely vital to be healthy. Flaxseeds oil is one of the rare foods that contain Omega-6 and 3 (EFAs – essential fatty acids) in perfect balance for the human body.
