Great Linseed Muesli
The New Year, new life changing breakfast.
This is a satisfying breakfast and because of the hormonal action of the linseed it can help you maintain a balanced diet. Menopausal systems can be alleviated and with a few changes to the rest of the diet, some exercise (maybe just fast walking) getting those pounds off can be easier and enjoyable.
New Vege Life Pods! New Size, Better Value
Introducing the new size, better value pods for all you vegans and vegetarians from the No.1 producer of Linseed oil (Flaxseed oil) in the UK
The shell is made of vegan friendly Carrageenan, a type of seaweed with Corn Starch, Glycerol, and Sodium Carbonate Anhydrous. This produces a glossier shell than the old one so should be just as easy to swallow.
Linseed or Flax the Definitive Answer
Linseed and flax are often confused, if you are a farmer in this country growing Flax you are growing a fibre plant which is used for linen. So you see there is no such thing as flaxseed oil. The flax plant is taller than linseed and is pulled by hand or nowadays by machine. So when you see products called flaxseed or flaxseed oil it will almost certainly be linseed or linseed oil. The linseed plant is shorter and generally has a bigger seed with more oil. The latin name for linseed Linum usitatissimum means most useful, and it has been used in all its forms for many thousands of years.
