Description
Flaxseed & Milk Thistle Meal Health Embassy comes in the form of defatted flakes, which means the oil content has been removed from the flaxseeds and milk thistle seeds. This results in a product with reduced fat but retains a high concentration of fiber, plant protein, and other beneficial compounds. The flakes offer a versatile, easy-to-use ingredient ideal for adding nutritional value to various meals without increasing fat content.
Both flaxseed and milk thistle have a long history of use in herbal traditions worldwide. Flaxseed has been cultivated for thousands of years, prized for its seeds and oil, while milk thistle is recognized for its distinctive spiny leaves and purple flowers.
Botanical Features and Traditional Background
Flaxseed flakes are derived from the seeds of the flax plant, which are flattened and slightly coarse with a mild, nutty flavor. Milk thistle flakes come from the seeds of the milk thistle plant and are characterized by their light, flaky texture and earthy taste. Together, they create a balanced blend that highlights the distinct textures and natural flavors of both ingredients.
Flaxseed & Milk Thistle Meal form allows easy incorporation into meals without requiring grinding or additional preparation, maintaining a pleasant crunch and a subtle flavor profile.
