They are also very low in carbohydrates, making them ideal for people who limit their starch and sugar intake. Flax seeds are very versatile and can easily be added to your daily diet. Ground flax seeds are easier to digest, so grind them as needed and aim to include 1 tablespoon of flax seeds in your diet per day.
