About Alasi Shekeli (Roasted Flaxseed Mukhwas)
Alasi Shekeli is flaxseed (Alasi, Linum usitatissimum) that has been gently roasted into a crunchy, nutty mukhwas — the same nutrient-dense seed as our whole flax, in a ready-to-eat form popular as an after-meal mouth-freshener and light snack.
Riddhish Herbals prepares Alasi Shekeli as a single-ingredient roasted food, sourced under our doctor-guided selection standard with a bill on every order. Roasting gives it its characteristic crunch and warm, nutty aroma.
Traditional & Nutritional Importance
In classical Ayurveda, flaxseed (Atasi) is described as Snigdha (unctuous) and Ushna (warming), traditionally used to balance Vata. Roasting is a familiar traditional way of preparing seeds into an easy-to-eat mukhwas.
Nutritionally, flaxseed is among the richest plant sources of alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid, and provides dietary fibre and lignans. These compositional facts make roasted flax a wholesome everyday nibble.

How to Use
Alasi Shekeli is a ready-to-eat food. It is commonly taken as an after-meal mukhwas (about 1–2 teaspoons), or sprinkled over salads, cereals and dishes, with plenty of water as it is high in fibre. Follow the advice of your physician or nutritionist for any specific use.
Who Can Use It
Suitable for most adults as part of a balanced diet. Drink adequate water, as flaxseed is high in fibre. If you are pregnant, lactating, on medication, or managing any health condition, consult your physician before regular use. Children should use only as advised by a physician or paediatrician.
Safety Information
Alasi Shekeli is a roasted food. Introduce it gradually and take it with enough water, as flaxseed is high in fibre; excess in one sitting may cause digestive discomfort for some people.

Store in a cool, dry place in a tightly closed container away from direct sunlight and moisture to keep the roasted seeds crisp.
