Linum usitatissimum
Particularly rich in omega 3 (alpha linolenic acid), linseed can be used whole or crushed (more easily absorbed after soaking in water overnight). Try adding one or two tablespoons to muesli, yoghurt or sprinkled over a salad. Makes great bread, on their own or mixed with other seeds such as poppy, sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
