Hi Charlotte,
The Turkish for "flax seeds" is "keten tohumu".
I do not know where you can get the seeds, but you can get flax seed oil at Holland and Barratt in the south.

Pleading ignorance,what do you do with them?

Is flax seed the same as linseed? I bought that in the Famagusta Pazaar

Well, its in a plan for healthy eating as its got good oil in, Omega 3 and could possibly help with
a few health issues, I think you put in
cereals, yoghurts and can go in bread too, but I think it goes rancid quite quickly so I've read today, so maybe not a good idea here?
Thanks

They freeze really well.

According to Wicki-Flax seeds and Linseed are the same thing.

I have seen Linseed in little green packets in the spice section in most supermarkets i.e. Erdener, Tempo, Supreme etc.

FLAXSEEDS/LINSEEDS
They are really good for you, I keep all my nuts and seeds in the fridge if they are not to be eaten immediately. I find shelled walnuts can also taste 'old' quickly
If you are not sure what they look like - like brown, shiny sesame seeds, lovely in bread, I just throw a handful in the flour, before adding the liquid. My mother had it in her yoghurt with some fruit every evening.
