	Flaxseed Vs. Flaxseed Oil

What is the difference between flaxseed and flaxseed oil? Is one better than the other?

The advantage of eating flaxseed over flaxseed oil is that flaxseed is a complete food, providing you with the benefits of Omega 3, 6 & 9 essential fatty acids (EFAs), fiber, protein, amino acids, plant lignans (i.e., phytoestrogens that have anti-cancer activity), vitamins, and minerals.

On the other hand, flaxseed oil contains EFAs, but not the fiber, proteins, or plant lignans.
