Roasted Ayurvedic alsi (flaxseed) offers numerous benefits, including improved digestion, heart health, and weight management, while also being easier to digest than raw seeds. Roasting enhances their nutty flavor and makes them more digestible by weakening the outer shell, allowing better absorption of nutrients like omega-3s, fiber, and lignans. Ayurvedic principles also note it helps pacify Vata disorders, reduces Ama (toxins), and can be used for skin and hair health.
