Frequent use of legumes as a protein source alternative to meat is a valuable healthy choice, as it provides essential amino acids of good quality while reducing fat intake. Our legumes, combined with the cereals we produce, create a balanced, healthy and sustainable meal, offering an alternative to traditional diets. The consumption of raw flax seeds also contributes to improving overall health, as they are rich in alpha-linolenic acid, a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) with proven nutraceutical benefits. Whole seeds are naturally rich in oils and valuable minerals such as copper, manganese, magnesium and zinc, as well as B vitamins. Even in small quantities (about three teaspoons of raw seeds), flax can help improve the HDL/LDL cholesterol ratio, acting as a preventive factor against certain cardiovascular diseases.
