DEREVO ZÕZNI WHITE FLAX SEED PUDER WITH PUMPKIN AND RAISINS 350G ( belyj ljon+tykva+izjum )

What it is

White flax porridge with pumpkin and raisins from Planeta Zdorovia is a ready-to-prepare breakfast mix based on ground white flax seed, combined with pumpkin and sweet raisins. Unlike instant cereals, it does not need to be boiled — a portion is simply poured with hot water or warm milk and left to swell for a few minutes. This makes it a convenient choice for busy mornings, travel, the office or a light evening meal.

Key ingredients

• White flax seed — milled into a fine flour. White flax has a milder, slightly nutty taste compared to the more familiar brown variety, which makes the porridge pleasant even for those who usually find flax too bitter. Flax seed is naturally rich in plant fibre and contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) — an omega-3 fatty acid of plant origin. The soluble fibre in flax absorbs liquid and forms a soft gel in the stomach, which is why the porridge gives a long-lasting feeling of fullness and helps to avoid snacking before lunch.
• Pumpkin — adds a gentle sweetness, a warm colour and a source of beta-carotene.
• Raisins — bring natural sugars for quick energy together with potassium and small amounts of iron.

Together these ingredients create a balanced breakfast: slow plant fibre and ALA from flax, vitamins from pumpkin, and a light energy boost from dried grapes. The mix contains no added sugar, no flour and no preservatives — only ground whole ingredients.

When this porridge fits well

• as a fibre-rich breakfast for people who follow a plant-based or gluten-conscious eating style;
• as a quick warm meal when there is no time to cook;
• as a softer alternative to oat or wheat porridge for those with a sensitive stomach;
• as part of a weight-management plan, thanks to its filling texture and modest calorie content.

How to use

Serving ideas: prepare with hot water for a neutral taste, with plant milk for a creamier texture, or stir into yoghurt and kefir as a thickener. Fresh berries, a spoon of honey, nuts or seeds turn it into a more substantial bowl.

Important notes

A gentle reminder: flax-based foods are high in fibre, so it is worth drinking enough water during the day to let the fibre work properly. If you have a chronic digestive condition, gallbladder issues or are pregnant, it is sensible to consult your doctor before adding flax products to your menu on a regular basis. The porridge is a food product, not a medicine, and works best as part of a varied diet.
