what does flaxseed do for kids
Ground flaxseed provides alpha-linolenic acid or ALA, a building block for omega-3 fatty acids. Your child's body converts ALA to omega-3 fatty acids. Each tablespoon of ground flaxseed contains about 1.8 grams of plant omega-3. However, flaxseed would have to be consumed in much greater amounts to reach the levels of omega-3 provided by fish oil.
