How does flax fibre differ from ordinary bran, and why does it contain bilberry? — Siberian Flax Fibre with Blueberry 280 g - SIBIRSKAJA KLETCHATKA

Flax fibre is made from flaxseed and differs from wheat or oat bran above all in texture: it is finer and more uniform, disperses more easily in liquids and is less noticeable in the finished dish. Bran is the outer layer of the grain; it is coarser and more noticeable in food.

In terms of composition, flax fibre contains both soluble and insoluble fibre. On contact with water, soluble fibre forms a gel-like mass, which explains the product's characteristic swelling — and this is why a meal that includes it feels more filling.

Bilberry has been added primarily for flavour: it makes the blend more pleasant to taste and smell, which is especially important with daily use. The berry component goes well with fermented milk products and porridges, complementing their flavour rather than overpowering it.

The product does not replace a balanced diet and is not intended to treat or prevent any disease — it is an addition to the diet for those who want to increase the share of plant fibre in their meals.
