People usually think about broccoli as a source of fiber, and it is true. But flax seeds have much more content. Two tablespoons of flax seeds will give you more fiber than two broccoli bites. Similar to chia seeds, flax seeds are not meant to eat handfuls but work excellent in salads and will give you a nutritional boost.

You will get around 5.6 grams of fiber per every two tablespoons of flax seeds. These are very popular in patients with constipation because the type of fiber it provides creates a soft bulk in your gut, stimulating intestinal transit. Flax seeds are usually sprinkled in salads or mixed with fruits and yogurt.
