Flaxseed is high in vitamins and minerals, including most of the B vitamins, magnesium and manganese. It contains fiber, soluble and insoluble, phytochemicals, including many powerful antioxidants such as lignans. In fact, being a plant, flaxseed is one of the best sources of lignans. Flaxseed is the best source of the plant-based omega-3 fat called α-linolenic acid (ALA). Flaxseed oil is about 50% ALA – five times more than walnut oil or canola oil.
