Red Flax Seeds
Red flax seeds are a lesser-known but nutritionally potent variety of flax, offering many of the same powerful health benefits as golden and brown flax seeds, with a slightly earthier flavor and deeper color. These small seeds are one of the richest plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids (ALA) and are loaded with fiber, plant-based protein, and antioxidants, making them a staple superfood for supporting heart, digestive, and hormonal health.
Their natural ability to form a gel when mixed with liquid makes red flax seeds ideal as a vegan egg substitute in baking or as a thickener in recipes. They can also be ground and added to smoothies, cereals, or energy bites or soaked to create a nutrient-rich, natural face mask.
