Introduction
Flax seeds, also known as Alsi in India, are one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world. These tiny, nutrient-rich seeds are prized for their exceptional health benefits and versatile applications. Known as a superfood, flax seeds are widely consumed in the food, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries.
