THE FLAX PLANT

THE SEEDS
The seeds can also be eaten as is, it is a great source of fiber! I have a homemade granola video for some inspiration.

THE OIL
The seeds can be crushed and used as Flax Seed Oil = High in Omegas.
Great in any diet but also Vegan on Plant-based diet!

THE PLANT
From the video you already know linen can be made. Linen is great for clothes, bedding, upholstery and other household goods.

I ❤️ the FLAX PLANT

YOUR SKIN AND THE FABRICS YOU WEAR

The skin is the largest organ of the body, with a total area of about 20 square feet. The skin protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold.

Thanks for a great video! I am just getting into learning how to sell clothing for myself and I want to use natural fibers. I’ve often heard of linen but really didn’t know anything about it. Your video covered all the basics that I was looking for.
