Flax seeds contain mucilage, which has traditionally been extracted" from the seeds by boiling. The resulting mucilage has been used to treat and prevent intestinal disorders. Flax seeds contain fatty acids essential for vital functions. In animal feeding, their effect is seen as the shine of the coat, which is a generally known sign of well-being. Cold pressing extracts most of the oil contained in flax seeds. However, some of the oil and valuable fatty acids remain in the groats. The mucilage of the flax also remains in the groats and is released during pressing in such a form that cooking is unnecessary when preparing mucilage.
