Flaxseeds aren’t exactly the sexiest ingredient, but they sure can pack a punch when it comes to our health and beauty and it’s been that way for centuries. In fact, in the 8th century, Emperor Charlemagne was so convinced of the benefits of flaxseeds that he passed laws that required his subjects to consume them. Back to the present day, flax is a great source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, among many other benefits, that keep our waistline slim and our hair and skin flawless.
