Organic brown flax
Organic brown flax seeds are an ancient, nutritious food deeply rooted in our agricultural heritage. Cultivated for thousands of years, flax has long been used both as food and for the production of textile fibres, reflecting its exceptional importance throughout human history.
At Ferme TournevenT, flax is grown using sustainable agricultural practices, including intercropping with lentils. This natural combination helps enrich the soil thanks to legumes’ ability to fix nitrogen, supporting the health of both crops and farmland.
Every summer, our flax fields offer a breathtaking sight, covered in delicate blue flowers swaying in the breeze—a peaceful landscape that has become emblematic of our terroir.
From a nutritional standpoint, brown flax seeds stand out for their high content of:
- Omega-3 fatty acids (essential polyunsaturated fats)
- Dietary fibre
- Iron
