What Is Flaxseed and Where Did It Come From?
Flaxseed comes from the flax plant (also known as), which grows to be about 2 feet tall. It likely was first grown in Egypt but has been cultivated all around the world.
The flax plant can be woven into linen — its fibers are two to three times as strong as cotton! When the plant first came to North America, it was primarily grown to produce clothing. (1) In the mid-20th century, however, cotton took over as the United States’ fiber of choice, so these days, most places in North America that grow flax do so to produce seeds. (1)
Its nutty-tasting seeds can be eaten on their own or crushed and cold-pressed to release flaxseed oil. (1,2) For decades, it had been common to find flaxseed (also called linseed) used in things like cereal or bread. But it’s developed a niche in the health food scene in the past decade or so. (1) People have become knowledgeable about the crop’s many health benefits and now have many ways to get their fill, whether as a supplement or as an ingredient they add to a variety of foods.
