LSA is a winning combination of ground linseeds, sunflower seeds and almonds. It is an all natural product with no additives.

LSA is the perfect addition to your smoothies, yoghurt or baking. Read below to learn more about this product.

Benefits of LSA

The most notable benefit of LSA is that it is nutrient dense. LSA contains omega-3 fats, calcium, zinc and magnesium. These are all hugely beneficial for different things.

On top of this, it is a source of healthy fats, protein and dietary fibre. These are all essential elements in a healthy diet.

Omega-3 fatty acids are often known as heart healthy fats because they can lower blood pressure and reduce your risk of heart attack.

There are many positives that come with omega-3 supplementation including a mood improvement in those with major depression.

Zinc reduces severity of cold symptoms, can improve insulin sensitivity and even help those with drug resistant depression. Since zinc is lost through sweat, it can be especially important for athletes or those partaking in regular exercise.

Magnesium is another essential mineral that many are often deficient in. Getting sufficient amounts of magnesium helps improve sleep quality and lower blood pressure. Additionally asthmatics can benefit from magnesium supplementation as studies have shown it can improve symptoms and reduce allergen-induced skin reactions.

Finally calcium is a nutrient typically found in dairy products and some vegetables. Low calcium intake is associated with weak bones and osteoporosis. As we age, our bodies require more calcium to ensure our skeletons stay strong. Those who do not consume dairy products are especially vulnerable to calcium deficiency. In addition to this, studies show that 500mg-1000mg of daily calcium supplementation can reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

The explanations above only briefly touch on the numerous vitamins and minerals found in LSA. Our blend also contains iron, manganese, selenium, niacin, vitamin E and other nutrients our bodies require. Adding LSA to your meals is an inexpensive way to boost the number of minerals in our meals and can help prevent deficiencies.

Suggested Use

Historically LSA has been primarily used by vegans and vegetarians, however anyone could reap the benefits of this product. It is convenient to use and a small amount goes a long way.

It may be especially beneficial for those who tend to consume a lot of processed foods or don’t get enough dairy and fish.

Women who experience painful cramps before their menstrual cycle may also enjoy this product.

Since LSA is a mix of seeds, it is incredibly safe to eat unless you have a known allergy.

To ensure they do not go rancid you should store them in an airtight container.

Our recommended serving size is 40 grams however you can add more or less depending on your preferences.

If you need recipe inspiration, scroll to the bottom. Otherwise we suggest adding LSA to smoothies, cereal, muesli, yoghurt or even just a spoonful straight from the bag!

Taste & Texture

As you’d expect, LSA has a nutty texture. It adds a bit of crunch to your shakes or meals.

Its nuttiness makes it suitable for both sweet and savoury meals.

The quantity you use will dictate the strength of the flavour. Adjust according to your personal preference.

Conclusion

Overall daily consumption of LSA has been shown to have many benefits and no drawbacks.

It is an inexpensive product that can improve the taste of your meals and the quality of your health.

Although certain populations like vegetarians may require it more than others, virtually anyone can reap the benefits of LSA.

Love to use this with my protein yogurt in the mornings.
Review by: Adrienne on Mon, Oct 2, 2023 4:49 PM
Great addition to my protein bakes as it's unflavored and doesn't leave an awful texture. It's packed with goodness and the bag has lasted just over 2 months now, pantry must-have.

Mixes great in a smoothie. That’s all there is to it. I tend to throw frozen fruit smoothie mix, a banana, vanilla casein protein, super blend greens, LSA, chia seeds and ice cold water together and blend it up. Blast of nutrients to start the day!
