🌱 Seed MilksFlaxseed Milk
Flax is one of the first crops humans ever domesticated, grown in the Fertile Crescent for linen long before anyone thought to drink it. Flaxseed milk, by contrast, is a thoroughly modern American invention, brought to supermarket shelves in the 2010s by Colorado's Good Karma and later joined by Malibu Mylk, which blends the whole seed for extra fibre. It's one of the lightest, most neutral plant milks: faintly earthy, barely sweet, with a smooth, clean body. That quiet flavour hides a headline: a generous dose of plant omega-3 (ALA). It's naturally nut-free and soya-free too. Use it on cereal, in smoothies and in cooking — anywhere you want the recipe, not the milk, to do the talking.
First, the plant.
