Organic flax seeds are fantastic sources of both dietary fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Most of the fiber of the flax seed can be found in its protective seed coat. Research has shown that flax seed fiber can help make people feel less hungry when taken before a meal, meaning they may eat less at mealtime. Also, the soluble fiber in flax seeds absorb water and slow the process of digestion. ^{5 †︎, 6†︎}
