The Uses and Processing of Flax
Page 2
Flax is a fairly tall and slender plant that features vivid green leaves and vibrant pale blue flowers.  Flax, both in its pure plant form as well are from its seeds and fibers, has an astonishing array of uses.  Flax is used in such diverse applications as foodstuffs, clothing, medications and nutritional supplements, and flax once even has some automotive uses before the advent of automotive synthetics.  While flax can be grown in a wide variety of locations, it is most commonly produced commercially in northern Europe, most notably in Ireland and several of the former members of the Soviet Union.
