  What is flaxseed?Flaxseed is the seed of the ‘flax’ plant, which looks and tastes similar to sesame seeds. It originated in the Mediterranean region of Europe and is said to be one of the first plants cultivated by mankind.
  Flaxseed is rich in alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid, dietary fibre and lignans.
  *NOTE: Flaxseed oil does not contain dietary fibres.

  What is n-3 fatty acid (omega-3 fatty acid)?It is one of the nutrients that is often lacking in modern diets, and is abundantly found in flaxseed oil, えごま油 and blue-backed fish (e.g. mackerel). They are known as ‘essential fatty acids’ but they cannot be produced in the body and must be taken from food despite being a necessary nutrient for the body.
