​​Usage Tip
​To get the maximum nutritional benefit from flax seeds, it is often recommended to lightly grind them into a coarse powder after roasting. This helps your body absorb the Omega-3 fats more effectively. You can sprinkle the powder over curd (yogurt), mix it into idli podi, or add it to your roti dough.
