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.
Flaxseed may also help lower total blood cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or bad) cholesterol levels, which may help reduce the risk of heart disease. You can buy flaxseed in bulk â whole or ground â at many grocery stores and health food stores. Refrigerating whole seeds may extend their freshness. Whole seeds can be ground in a coffee grinder and then stored in an airtight container for several months.
