Description

In Indian households, Roasted Alsi (Roasted Flax Seeds) is one of the most traditional and affordable “superfoods.” While raw flax seeds contain small amounts of cyanogenic glycosides, roasting them neutralizes these compounds, making them safer and easier to digest.

Key Benefits of Roasted Alsi

Roasting the seeds makes the nutrients more “bio-available,” meaning your body can absorb them better.

Omega-3 Powerhouse: Alsi is the richest plant source of Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). This is essential for heart health, reducing arterial inflammation, and lowering the risk of stroke.

Superior Digestion: It is loaded with both soluble and insoluble fiber. It acts as a natural laxative and helps maintain a healthy gut “biome.”

Hormonal Balance: Alsi is the #1 source of Lignans (it contains up to 800 times more than other plants). Lignans help balance estrogen levels, making it excellent for women managing PCOS or menopause symptoms.

Weight Management: The high fiber and healthy fat content trigger “satiety” hormones, keeping you full for hours and reducing mid-day cravings.

Blood Sugar Control: Regular consumption has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity in people with Type 2 diabetes.
