Linseed is the small, reddish-brown seed of the common flax plant, linum usitatissimum, the same plant that's used to grow the fibre from which linen has been made for thousands of years. Though tiny, they are rich in the omega-3 fatty acids and fibre. 

Flax, also known as linseed, comes from the flax plant, which is cultivated for its seeds, fibre and flax oil.

Brown flax seeds contain essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

Flaxseeds are a phytoestrogen, these are plant-based compounds that mimic estrogen in the body.
Recently, phytoestrogens have received increasing amounts of traction as a natural intervention to support female health during menopause.
These dietary sources are widely understood to raise levels of oestrogen throughout the menopausal transition, thereby mitigating bothersome symptoms, like hot flushes, fatigue, and mood changes. The most common sources of phytoestrogens are soy and flaxseeds. Flaxseeds contain potent phytoestrogens called lignans and scientists’ believe that lignans are responsible for improving menopausal symptoms.
