Discover the amazing history and uses of Linum usitatissimum, commonly known as Flax or Linseed. Flax has been extensively cultivated since ancient times, with dyed flax fibers dating back to 34,000 BC found in the Republic of Georgia. Originating from the Eastern Mediterranean to India, it was probably first domesticated in the Fertile Crescent. The plant's history attests to its versatility. Its seeds and oil have been used medicinally as a laxative and expectorant, helping to soothe irritated tissues, control coughing and relieve pain. The seed, containing 30 - 40% oil, can be eaten raw or cooked. In small amounts, its cyanogenic glycosides can stimulate respiration and improve digestion. The seeds can be used in baking, sprouted for salads, or roasted as a coffee substitute. The oil can be refined for edible use. Dive into the legacy and benefits of this ancient plant.
