: Organic Flaxseed
Organic Flaxseed

Flaxseed doesn't possess the same glamorous looks as other "superfoods", but don't be fooled by its homely exterior. These tiny seeds are endowed with a disease-fighting entourage and have reached superstar status, nutritionally speaking.

First and foremost, flax is the best known source of an omega-3 fat called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). This attribute alone gives flax real heal appeal! The powers of omega-3 fatty acids include helping to reduce inflammation in your body, balance blood sugar, boost your mood and even protect against Alzheimer's.

But the allure doesn't stop there. Flaxseed is also the richest source of lignans, a group of phytonutrients that help to thwart hormone-related cancers like colon and breast cancer. In fact, flax contains 500 times more lignans than culinary counterparts like wheat bran, rye, buckwheat and oats.

Last but not least, flax is a natural internal cleanser. It's rich in insoluble fiber which acts like a broom, cleaning out your digestive tract and sweeping cholesterol from your body.

At Wellness Bakeries, we add enough finely milled organic flax to give our cakes a hint of nuttiness... and give you an excellent source of omega-3 ALA in every serving.

Chocolate Bliss Cake is Packed with These Healthy Fats! 

Fat is not the nutritional villain it has been made out to be. Some fats – like omega-3 fatty acids – you simply cannot live without. That’s why we use a heaping portion of organic flaxseed powder in every Chocolate Bliss Cake – enough that it’s considered an “excellent source” of an omega-3 fat called alpha-linolenic-acid ( ALA ).

But what you’ll really fall in love with is the taste. You won’t believe a dessert this good can be this good for you. Read our Letter to Dessert Lovers to learn more and taste it for yourself!
