Flaxseed calories and nutrition facts

Per 100 g: 534 kcal — 18.3 g protein, 42.2 g fat and 1.6 g carbs.

Flaxseed, often sold in Britain as linseed, comes golden or brown, and both are used the same way. Whole seeds are hard to break down, so most people buy them milled and stir a tablespoon, about 10 g, into porridge, yogurt or smoothies, or mix it with water as an egg substitute in vegan baking. With around 27 g of fibre per 100 g, it’s also rich in thiamin, manganese and copper.
