Have you ever heard of Flax seeds? It was three years back that I struggled to find them in Bangalore. Last year, I ordered it with the help of a friend who works in Big Bazaar. He got me the syrup version of it, which was very yucky on my taste buds. But I was thrilled when I came across this company which manufactures Flax seed bread in Bangalore. This is such a gift for health conscious residents of our city.
Flax seed contains
1) Good amount of Omega-3 fatty acids. Very good for your heart and is great for people with high risk of BP, diabetes, arthritis. It is good on your kids if they exhibit Attention Deficit Disorder. It is a good for people who suffer from depression and mood swings. It is great for your skin! More details here
2) It contains antioxidants which can drift you away from acquiring cancer.
3) It is a rich source of fiber and to consume good amount of fiber you need to add in a lot of calories too. But Flax seed is a rich source of fiber and helps you intake fiber in rich quantities without adding more calories to your diet.
All in all, Flax seed bread must be stocked on everyone's dinning table. It is available in food world (I saw it in malleswaram food world yesterday) and the makers of this bread variety are based in bangalore (at Bommanahalli). I have noted their address and phone number, mail me in case you need more details.
