Flax, whose Latin name is 'Linum usitatissimum' meaning 'very medicinal plant', is from the flax family. Its homeland is Turkey, Egypt, Syria, and Iraq. Today, it is also grown as a culture plant in Europe, Asia, and North and South America. In June and August, it enlivens the summer with its silky-soft, liberating azure or unique yellow flowers. Fiber and oil are classified as flax. It can easily grow in almost any type of soil. It is planted periodically as summer and autumn linen in Anatolia. Many archaeological studies show that flax was cultivated in Mesopotamia 7,000 years ago. Pictures describing the cultivation of flax were found, which were placed as food in the burial chambers in Ancient Egypt. Ground linseed is added to mixed grain bread in the bakery sector in the west. It is widely used to obtain different tastes in cakes, pies, and all mixtures with dough. It can also be added to salads, soups, rice, and meals as a condiment.
