Fermentanicals Organic Sprouted Flax Ground 500g
Currently unavailable from supplier. Please contact customer service for product suggestions or further information.
Fermentanicals Sprouted Ground Flax contains milled flaxseeds, a gluten-free, paleo-friendly seed that is thought to be the world’s richest source of omega-3 fatty acids. In fact, flaxseed is full of three important compounds – the omega-3 fatty acid α-linolenic acid (ALA), dietary fibre and phytochemicals, which are non-nutritive plant-based substances that possess health-protective properties and act as potent antioxidants. Flaxseeds are known to specifically contain the phytochemical known as lignans.
This nutrient-packed seed may help maintain regular digestion, assist in overall bodily health due to its omega-3 fatty acid content and it may help to reduce free radical damage while aiding blood sugar control.
Why Choose Sprouted Foods?
Sprouting can:
Germinate (activate) the seed, stimulating the production of proteolytic enzymes that make both carbohydrates and proteins digestible
Increase the alkalinity of the seed
Shed anti-nutrients that inhibit digestion such as phytic acid, which can inhibit the absorption of some minerals including iron and zinc
Pre-digest and break down complex sugar molecules, making them easier to digest
Sprouted foods contain higher levels of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and protein
Sprouted foods additionally contain less calories and carbohydrates than their non-sprouted equivalents
Differs from Activation in the germination process yields more nutrients as opposed to activation which has the same nutrients as the raw seed.
