So, what is leinsamen?

Leinsamen, also known as flaxseed, is a highly nutritious and versatile food ingredient that has been used for centuries. It is derived from the flax plant, and its tiny, brownish seeds are packed with essential nutrients like fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and lignans. Leinsamen has a slightly nutty flavor and a crunchy texture, making it a popular addition to breads, cereals, smoothies, and baked goods. It is also a common vegan substitute for eggs, due to its ability to gel when mixed with water. Leinsamen is a great way to add a boost of nutrition to your meals, while also enhancing the taste and texture of your favorite dishes.
