It is derived from at least two species of the global genus <i><span style="color: #000000;">Zanthoxylum</span></i>, including <i><span style="color: #000000;">Z. simulans</span></i> and <i><span style="color: #000000;">Z. bungeanum</span></i>. The genus <i>Zanthoxylum</i> belongs in the <span style="color: #000000;">rue or citrus family</span>, and, despite its name, is not closely related to either <span style="color: #000000;">black pepper</span> or the <span style="color: #000000;">chili pepper</span>.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">The husk or hull (<span style="color: #000000;">pericarp</span>) around the seeds may be used whole, especially in <span style="color: #000000;">Sichuan cuisine</span>, and the finely ground powder is one of the ingredients for <span style="color: #000000;">five-spice powder</span>. It is also used in <span style="color: #000000;">traditional Chinese medicine</span>. The pericarp is most often used, but the leaves of various species are also used in some regions of China.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Another species of <i>Zanthoxylum</i> native to China, <i><span style="color: #000000;">Z. schinifolium</span></i>, called <i>xiāng jiāo zi</i> (<span title="Chinese language text" xml:lang="zh" lang="zh">香椒子</span>, "aromatic peppercorn") or <i>qīng huā jiāo</i> (<span title="Chinese language text" xml:lang="zh" lang="zh">青花椒</span>, "green flower pepper"), is used as a spice in <span style="color: #000000;">Hebei</span>.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">While the exact flavour and composition of different species from the genus <i>Zanthoxylum</i> vary, most share the same essential characteristics. So while the terms "Sichuan pepper" and <i><span style="color: #000000;">sanshō</span></i>may refer specifically to <i>Z. simulans</i> and <i><span style="color: #000000;">Z. piperitum</span></i>, respectively, the two are commonly used interchangeably.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Related species are used in the cuisines of Tibet, <span style="color: #000000;">Bhutan</span>, Nepal, <span style="color: #000000;">Thailand</span>, and India (the <span style="color: #000000;">Konkani</span> and <span style="color: #000000;">Kumaoni</span> people) and <span style="color: #000000;">Toba Batak</span> peoples. In Bhutan, this pepper is known as <i>thingye</i> and is used liberally in preparation of soups, gruels, and <i>phaag sha paa</i> (pork slices). In Nepal, <i>timur</i> is used in the popular foods <span style="color: #000000;"><i>momo</i></span>, <i><span style="color: #000000;">thukpa</span></i>, <span style="color: #000000;">chow mein</span>, chicken chilli, and other meat dishes. It is also widely used in homemade pickles. People take <i>timur</i> as a medicine for stomach or digestion problems, in a preparation with cloves of garlic and mountain salt with warm water.</span></p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Culinary_uses">Culinary uses</span></h2> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span>Sichuan pepper's unique aroma and flavour is not hot or pungent like black, white, or chili peppers. Instead, it has slight lemony overtones and creates a tingly numbness in the mouth (caused by its 3</span></span>% of<span style="color: #000000;"> <span style="color: #000000;">hydroxy alpha sanshool</span>) that sets the stage for hot spices. According to <span style="color: #000000;">Harold McGee</span> in <i><span style="color: #000000;">On Food and Cooking</span></i>,<span> they are not simply pungent; "they produce a strange, tingling, buzzing, numbing sensation that is something like the effect of carbonated drinks or of a mild electric current (touching the terminals of a nine-volt battery to the tongue). Sanshools appear to act on several different kinds of nerve endings at once, induce sensitivity to touch and cold in nerves that are ordinarily nonsensitive, and so perhaps cause a kind of general neurological confusion."</span></span></p> </body> </html>

Depending on the species and cultivar, the leaves may taste somewhat like </span>anise<span>, with a strong, pungent, often sweet smell.</span><span>There are many </span>varieties of <i>Ocimum basilicum</i><span>, as well as several related species or hybrids also called basil. The type used commonly as a flavor is typically called </span><b>sweet basil</b><span> (or </span><b>Genovese basil</b><span>), as opposed to </span>Thai basil<span> (</span><i>O. basilicum</i><span> var. </span><i>thyrsiflora</i><span>), </span>lemon basil<span> (</span><i>O. × citriodorum</i><span>), and </span><b>holy basil</b><span> (</span><i>Ocimum tenuiflorum</i><span>).

In general, it is added at the last moment, as cooking quickly destroys the flavor. The fresh herb can be kept for a short time in plastic bags in the refrigerator, or for a longer period in the freezer, after being blanched quickly in boiling water. The dried herb also loses most of its flavor, and what little flavor remains tastes very different, with a weak coumarin flavor, like hay.nBasil is one of the main ingredients in pesto—a green Italian oil-and-herb sauce.</p> <p>The most commonly used Mediterranean basil cultivars are "Genovese", "Purple Ruffles", "Mammoth", "Cinnamon", "Lemon", "Globe", and "African Blue". The Chinese also use fresh or dried basils in soups and other foods. In Taiwan, people add fresh basil leaves to thick soups. They also eat fried chicken with deep-fried basil leaves. Basil (most commonly Thai basil) is commonly steeped in cream or milk to create an interesting flavor in ice cream or chocolates (such as truffles). The leaves are not the only part of basil used in culinary applications, the flower buds have a more subtle flavor and they are edible.</p>

Growing to 15–30 cm (6–12 in) tall by 40 cm (16 in) wide, it is a bushy, woody-based </span>evergreen<span> </span>subshrub<span> with small, highly aromatic, grey-green leaves and clusters of purple or pink flowers in early summer.</span></span></p> <p>It is useful in the garden as groundcover, where it can be short-lived, but is easily propagatedfrom cuttings. It is also the main source of thyme as an ingredient in cooking and as an herbal medicine. It is slightly spicier than oregano and sweeter than sage.</p> <p>In some Levantine countries, and Assyria, the condiment <i>za'atar</i> (Arabic for thyme) contains thyme as a vital ingredient. It is a common component of the <i>bouquet garni</i>, and of <i>herbes de Provence</i>.</p> <p>Thyme is sold both fresh and dried. While summer-seasonal, fresh greenhouse thyme is often available year-round. The fresh form is more flavourful, but also less convenient; storage life is rarely more than a week. However, the fresh form can last many months if carefully frozen.</p> <p>Fresh thyme is commonly sold in bunches of sprigs. A sprig is a single stem snipped from the plant. It is composed of a woody stem with paired leaf or flower clusters ("leaves") spaced <span class="frac nowrap"><sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>2</sub></span> to 1 inch (13 to 25 mm) apart. A recipe may measure thyme by the bunch (or fraction thereof), or by the sprig, or by the tablespoon or teaspoon. Dried thyme is widely used in Armenia in tisanes(called <i>urc</i>).</p> <p>Depending on how it is used in a dish, the whole sprig may be used (e.g., in a <i>bouquet garni</i>), or the leaves removed and the stems discarded. Usually, when a recipe specifies "bunch" or "sprig", it means the whole form; when it specifies spoons, it means the leaves. It is perfectly acceptable to substitute dried for whole thyme. Leaves may be removed from stems either by scraping with the back of a knife, or by pulling through the fingers or tines of a fork. Thyme retains its flavour on drying better than many other herbs.</p> <p></p>

In English, <i>N. sativa</i> and its seed are variously called black caraway, black seed, black cumin, fennel flower, nigella, nutmeg flower, Roman coriander, and <i>kalonji</i> (from Hindi-Urdu). Blackseed and black caraway may also refer to <i>Bunium persicum</i>.</p> <p>The seeds of <i>N. sativa</i> are used as a spice in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. The black seeds taste like a combination of onions, black pepper, and oregano. They have a pungent, bitter taste and smell.</p> <p>The dry-roasted seeds flavor curries, vegetables, and pulses. They can be used as a "pepper" in recipes with pod fruit, vegetables, salads, and poultry. In some cultures, the black seeds are used to flavor bread products, and are used as part of the spice mixture <i>panch phoron</i> (meaning a mixture of five spices) and alone in many recipes in Bengali cuisine and most recognizably in <i>naan</i>. <i>Nigella </i>is also used in Armenian string cheese, a braided string cheese called <i>majdouleh</i> or <i>majdouli</i> in the Middle East.</p> <p></p>

The taste of mustard ranges from sweet to spicy.</p> <p><span>Commonly paired with meats and cheeses, mustard is also added to </span>sandwiches<span>, </span>hamburgers<span>, </span>corn dogs<span>, and </span>hot dogs<span>. It is also used as an ingredient in many </span>dressings<span>, </span>glazes<span>, </span>sauces<span>, </span>soups<span>, and </span>marinades<span>. As a cream or as individual seeds, mustard is used as a condiment in the cuisine of </span>India<span> and </span>Bangladesh<span>, the </span>Mediterranean<span>, </span>northern<span> and </span>southeastern Europe<span>, </span>Asia<span>, the </span>Americas<span>, and </span>Africa<span>,</span><span> making it one of the most popular and widely used spices and condiments in the world.</span></p> <p>Archeological excavations in the Indus Valley (Indian Subcontinent) have revealed that mustard was cultivated there. That civilization existed until about 1800 BC.</p> <p>The Romans were probably the first to experiment with the preparation of mustard as a condiment. They mixed unfermented grape juice (the must) with ground mustard seeds (called <i>sinapis</i>) to make "burning must", <i>mustum ardens</i> — hence "must ard". A recipe for mustard appears in <i>De re coquinaria</i>, the anonymously compiled Roman cookbook from the late fourth or early fifth century; the recipe calls for a mixture of ground mustard, pepper, caraway, lovage, grilled coriander seeds, dill, celery, thyme, oregano, onion, honey, vinegar, fish sauce, and oil, and was intended as a glaze for spit-roasted boar.</p> <p>The Romans likely exported mustard seed to Gaul, and by the 10th century, monks of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris absorbed the mustard-making knowledge of Romans and began their own production. The first appearance of mustard makers on the royal registers in Paris dates back to 1292. Dijon, France, became a recognized center for mustard making by the 13th century. The popularity of mustard in Dijon is evidenced by written accounts of guests consuming 320 litres (70 imp gal) of mustard creme in a single sitting at a gala held by the Duke of Burgundy in 1336. In 1777, one of the most famous Dijon mustard makers, Grey-Poupon, was established as a partnership between Maurice Grey, a mustard maker with a unique recipe containing white wine; and Auguste Poupon, his financial backer. Their success was aided by the introduction of the first automatic mustard-making machine. In 1937, Dijon mustard was granted an <i>Appellation d'origine contrôlée</i>. Due to its long tradition of mustard making, Dijon is regarded as the mustard capital of the world.</p> <p>The early use of mustard as a condiment in England is attested from the year 1390 in the book <i>The Forme of Cury</i> which was written by King Richard II's master cooks. It was prepared in the form of mustard balls—coarse-ground mustard seed combined with flour and cinnamon, moistened, rolled into balls, and dried—which were easily stored and combined with vinegar or wine to make mustard paste as needed. The town of Tewkesbury was well known for its high-quality mustard balls, originally made with ground mustard mixed with horseradish and dried for storage, which were then exported to London and other parts of the country, and are even mentioned in William Shakespeare's play <i>King Henry the Fourth, Part II</i>.</p> <p>The use of mustard as a hot dog condiment is said to have been first seen in the US at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, when the bright-yellow French's mustard was introduced by the R.T. French Company.</p> <p><span>Mustard is most often used at the table as a condiment on cold meats.</span><span>It is also used as an ingredient in </span>mayonnaise<span>, </span>vinaigrette<span>, marinades, and </span>barbecue sauce<span>. It is also a popular accompaniment to hot dogs, </span>pretzels<span>, and </span>bratwurst<span>. In the Netherlands and northern Belgium, it is commonly used to make mustard soup, which includes mustard, cream, </span>parsley<span>, </span>garlic<span>, and pieces of salted </span>bacon<span>. Mustard as an </span>emulsifier<span> can stabilize a mixture of two or more immiscible liquids, such as oil and water.</span><span>Added to </span>Hollandaise sauce<span>, mustard can inhibit </span>curdling<span>.</span></p>

It is cultivated worldwide as a semiarid crop. Its seeds and its leaves are common ingredients in dishes from </span>South<span> and </span>Central Asia<span>.</span></span></p> <p>Fenugreek is believed to have been brought into cultivation in the Near East. While Zohary and Hopf are uncertain which wild strain of the genus <i>Trigonella</i> gave rise to domesticated fenugreek, charred fenugreek seeds have been recovered from Tell Halal, Iraq (carbon dated to 4000 BC), and Bronze Age levels of Lachish and desiccated seeds from the tomb of Tutankhamen. Cato the Elder lists fenugreek with clover and vetch as crops grown to feed cattle.</p> <p>In one first-century A.D. recipe, the Romans flavoured wine with fenugreek. In the 1st century AD, in Galilee, it was grown as a food staple, as Josephus mentions it in his book, the <i>Wars of the Jews</i>.</p> <p>Fenugreek is used as a herb (dried or fresh leaves), spice (seeds), and vegetable (fresh leaves, sprouts, and microgreens). Sotolon is the chemical responsible for fenugreek's distinctive sharp smell.</p> <p>Cuboid-shaped, yellow- to amber-coloured fenugreek seeds are frequently encountered in the cuisines of the Indian subcontinent, used both whole and powdered in the preparation of pickles, vegetable dishes, dal, and spice mixes such as <i>panch phoron</i> and <i>sambar</i> powder. They are often roasted to reduce bitterness and enhance flavour.</p> <p>Fresh fenugreek leaves are an ingredient in some curries, such as with potatoes in cuisines of the Indian subcontinent to make "aloo methi" ("potato fenugreek") curry. Sprouted seeds and fenugreek greens are used in salads. When harvested as greens, fenugreek is known as <i>samudra methi</i> in Maharashtra, especially in and around Mumbai, where it is often grown in sandy tracts near the sea, hence the name <i>samudra</i>, "ocean" in Sanskrit. <i>Samudra methi</i> is also grown in dry river beds in the Gangetic plains. When sold as a vegetable, the young plants are harvested with their roots still attached and sold in small bundles in the markets and bazaars. Any remaining soil is washed off to extend their shelf life.</p> <p>In Turkish cuisine, fenugreek seeds are used for making a paste known as <i>çemen</i>. Cumin, black pepper, and other spices are added into it, especially to make <i>pastırma</i>. In Persian cuisine, fenugreek leaves are called <i>shanbalile</i>. They are the key ingredient and one of several greens incorporated into <i>ghormeh sabzi</i> and <i>eshkeneh</i> as common Iranian dishes.</p> <p>In Egyptian cuisine, peasants in Upper Egypt add fenugreek seeds and maize to their pita bread to produce <i>aish merahrah</i>, a staple of their diet. Fenugreek is used in Eritrean and Ethiopian cuisine. The word for fenugreek in Amharic is <i>abesh</i> (or <i>abish</i>), and the seed is used in Ethiopia as a natural herbal medicine in the treatment of diabetes.</p> <p>Yemenite Jews following the interpretation of Rabbi Shelomo Yitzchak (Rashi) believe fenugreek, which they call <i>hilbeh, hilba, helba</i>, or<i>halba </i>"חילבה", to be the Talmudic <i>rubia</i> "רוביא". When the seed kernels are ground and mixed with water they greatly expand; hot spices, turmeric and lemon juice are added to produce a frothy relish eaten with a sop. The relish is also called <i>hilbeh</i>; it is reminiscent of curry. It is eaten daily and ceremonially during the meal of the first and/or second night of the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana.</p> <p>In traditional medicine, fenugreek is thought to promote digestion, induce labour, and reduce blood sugar levels in diabetics, although the evidence that fenugreek has any therapeutic worth is lacking.</p> <p>In herbalism, fenugreek is thought to increase breast milk supply in nursing mothers. This is not supported by good medical evidence and fenugreek intake is not recommended for this purpose.Fenugreek is sometimes used as animal feed. It provides a green fodder palatable to ruminants. The seeds are also used to feed fish, domestic rabbits and ruminants.</p>

Curry is generally prepared in a sauce. Curry dishes prepared in the southern states of India, where the word also originated, may be spiced with leaves from the curry tree.</p> <p>There are many varieties of dishes called 'curries'. For example, in original traditional cuisines, the precise selection of spices for each dish is a matter of national or regional cultural tradition, religious practice, and, to some extent, family preference. Such dishes are called by specific names that refer to their ingredients, spicing, and cooking methods.Spices are used both whole and ground, cooked or raw, and they may be added at different times during the cooking process to produce different results. The main spices found in most curry powders of the Indian subcontinent are coriander, cumin, and turmeric. A wide range of additional spices may be included depending on the geographic region and the foods being included (fish, lentils, red or white meat, rice, and vegetables). Curry powder, a commercially prepared mixture of spices, is largely a Western creation, dating to the 18th century. Such mixtures are commonly thought to have first been prepared by Indian merchants for sale to members of the British Colonial government and army returning to Britain.</p> <p>Dishes called 'curry' may contain fish, meat, poultry, or shellfish, either alone or in combination with vegetables. Additionally, many instead are entirely vegetarian, eaten especially among those who hold ethical or religious proscriptions against eating meat or seafood.</p> <p>Curries may be either 'dry' or 'wet'. Dry curries are cooked with very little liquid which is allowed to evaporate, leaving the other ingredients coated with the spice mixture. Wet curries contain significant amounts of sauce or gravy based on broth, coconut cream, coconut milk, dairy cream, legume purée, sautéed crushed onion, tomato purée or yogurt.</p>

Like "curry rice" in Japan and Korea, and a variety of mild Chinese "curry" dishes, it is the result of the influence of British naval cuisine, disseminated across Asia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries due to British military presence. This curry, while rich in dried spices, contains relatively less chilli, hence its popularity on menus outside Thailand. It originally incorporated the quintessential Anglo-Indian invention, curry powder, into the traditional curry paste (chiles, garlic, shallots, lemongrass, cilantro roots, galanga). The primary spices in <i>kaeng kari</i> are cumin, coriander, turmeric, fenugreek, garlic, salt, bay leaf, lemongrass, cayenne pepper, ginger, mace and cinnamon. Sometimes a touch of palm sugar or a similar sweetener will be added, depending on the sweetness of the coconut milk.</p><p></p><p>Thai yellow curry is most typically made with chicken or beef and a starchy vegetable, most often potatoes, but it can be made with duck, tofu, shrimp, fish, or vegetables and is eaten with steamed rice or round rice noodles known as <i>khanom chin</i>.</p><p></p><script type="text/javascript"></script>

They are often pickled in vinegar or sherry as a snack or cooked as an ingredient in many dishes. They can be steeped in boiling water to make ginger herb tea, to which honey may be added.

Powdered dry ginger root is typically used as a flavoring for recipes such as gingerbread, cookies, crackers and cakes, ginger ale, and ginger beer. Candied ginger, or crystallized ginger, is the root cooked in sugar until soft, and is a type of confectionery. Fresh ginger may be peeled before eating. For longer-term storage, the ginger can be placed in a plastic bag and refrigerated or frozen.</p> <p>Evidence that ginger helps alleviate nausea and vomiting resulting from chemotherapy or pregnancy is inconsistent. It is not recommended for any clinical uses or for nausea. There is no clear evidence of harm from taking ginger during pregnancy, although its safety has not been established. Ginger is not effective for treating dysmenorrhea, and there is no evidence for it having analgesic properties.</p> <p>Allergic reactions to ginger generally result in a rash. Although generally recognized as safe, ginger can cause heartburn and other side effects, particularly if taken in powdered form. It may adversely affect individuals with gallstones and may interfere with the effects of anticoagulants, such as warfarin or aspirin.</p>

It is a food and fiber crop cultivated in cooler regions of the world. The textiles made from flax are known in the Western countries as </span>linen<span>, and traditionally used for bed sheets, underclothes, and table linen. The oil is known as </span>linseed oil<span>. In addition to referring to the plant itself, the word "flax" may refer to the unspun fibers of the flax plant. The plant species is known only as a cultivated plant,</span><span> and appears to have been domesticated just once from the wild species </span><i>Linum bienne</i><span>, called pale flax.</span></span></p> <p>Several other species in the genus <i>Linum</i> are similar in appearance to <i>L. usitatissimum</i>, cultivated flax, including some that have similar blue flowers, and others with white, yellow, or red flowers. Some of these are perennial plants, unlike <i>L. usitatissimum</i>, which is an annual plant.</p> <p>Cultivated flax plants grow to 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in) tall, with slender stems. The leaves are glaucous green, slender lanceolate, 20–40 mm long, and 3 mm broad.</p> <p>The flowers are pure pale blue, 15–25 mm in diameter, with five petals. The fruit is a round, dry capsule 5–9 mm in diameter, containing several glossy brown seeds shaped like an apple pip, 4–7 mm long.</p> <p>Flax is grown for its seeds, which can be ground into a meal or turned into linseed oil, a product used as a nutritional supplement and as an ingredient in many wood-finishing products. Flax is also grown as an ornamental plant in gardens. Moreover, flax fibers are used to make linen. The Latin name of the species, <i>usitatissimum,</i> means "most useful".</p> <p>Flax fibers taken from the stem of the plant are two to three times as strong as cotton fibers. Additionally, flax fibers are naturally smooth and straight. Europe and North America both depended on flax for plant-based cloth until the 19th century, when cotton overtook flax as the most common plant for making rag-based paper. Flax is grown on the Canadian prairies for linseed oil, which is used as a drying oil in paints and varnishes and in products such as linoleumand printing inks.</p> <p>Linseed meal, the byproduct of producing linseed oil from flax seeds, is used to feed livestock. It is a protein-rich feed for ruminants, rabbits, and fish.</p> <p>A 100-gram portion of ground flaxseed supplies about 534 calories (2,230 kJ), 41 g of fat, 28 g of fiber, and 20 g of protein.</p> <p>Flaxseed sprouts are edible and have a slightly spicy flavor profile. Excessive consumption of flaxseeds with inadequate amounts of water may cause bowel obstruction. In northern India, flaxseed, called <i>tisi</i> or <i>alsi</i>, is traditionally roasted, powdered, and eaten with boiled rice, a little water, and a little salt. In India, linseed oil is known as <i>alsi</i> in Hindi and <i>javas</i> in Marathi. It is mainly used in Savji curries, such as mutton (goat meat) curries.</p> <p>Whole flaxseeds are chemically stable, but ground flaxseed meal, because of oxidation, may go rancid when left exposed to air at room temperature in as little as one week. Refrigeration and storage in sealed containers will keep ground flaxseed meal for a longer period before it turns rancid. Under conditions similar to those found in commercial bakeries, trained sensory panelists could not detect differences between bread made with freshly ground flaxseed and bread made with flaxseed that had been milled four months earlier and stored at room temperature. This shows, if packed immediately without exposure to air and light, milled flaxseed is stable against excessive oxidation when stored for nine months at room temperature, and under warehouse conditions, for 20 months at ambient temperatures.</p> <p>Three natural phenolic glucosides—secoisolariciresinol diglucoside, p-coumaric acid glucoside, and ferulic acid glucoside—can be found in commercial breads containing flaxseed.</p> <p>Flax fiber is extracted from the bast beneath the surface of the stem of the flax plant. Flax fiber is soft, lustrous, and flexible; bundles of fiber have the appearance of blonde hair, hence the description "flaxen" hair. It is stronger than cotton fiber, but less elastic. The best grades are used for fabrics such as damasks, lace, and sheeting. Coarser grades are used for the manufacturing of twine and rope, and historically, for canvas and webbing equipment. Flax fiber is a raw material used in the high-quality paper industry for the use of printed banknotes, laboratory paper (blotting and filter), rolling paper for cigarettes, and tea bags.</p> <p>The use of flax fibers dates back tens of thousands of years; linen, a refined textile made from flax fibers, was worn widely by Sumerian priests more than 4,000 years ago. Industrial-scale flax fiber processing existed in antiquity. A Bronze Age factory dedicated to flax processing was discovered in Euonymeia.</p> <p>Flax mills for spinning flaxen yarn were invented by John Kendrew and Thomas Porthouse of Darlington, England, in 1787. New methods of processing flax have led to renewed interest in the use of flax as an industrial fiber.</p> <p>One study of research published between 1990 and 2008 showed that consuming flaxseed or its derivatives may reduce total and LDL-cholesterol in the blood, with greater benefits in women and those with high cholesterol.</p> <p>A meta-analysis has shown that consumption of more than 30 g of flaxseed daily for more than 12 weeks reduced body weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference for persons with a BMI greater than 27. Another meta-analysis has shown that consumption of flaxseed for more than 12 weeks produced small reductions in systolic blood pressureand diastolic blood pressure Flaxseed supplementation showed a small reduction in c-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation) only in persons with a BMI greater than 30.</p>
