아마씨, or flaxseed, is the small seed of the 아마 plant, known scientifically as Linum usitatissimum. These seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and lignans, making them a popular choice for health-conscious individuals. They can be consumed whole, ground, or as oil, and are often added to smoothies, baked goods, and cereals. In addition to their nutritional benefits, 아마씨 has been used in traditional medicine for its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. They are also known to support digestive health and may help in managing cholesterol levels.
