flax is a natural grain that is native to the uk., if i'm not mistaken. it is grown for the seed, which contains flax seed oil, an essential fatty acid that you can purchase in the vitamin department.
the fibre of the flax plant is used to make high quality linen.
why are you concerned about flax being planted in your country?

Flax is used for making Linen. The fibre in the stem and seeds are used.

Flax contains Omega-3 acids, maybe even Omega-6 acids, something that is found in salmon as well. It helps to control/reduce cholesterol.

The main purpose was getting fibres for linen, but the seeds are also used, for all kinds of things, from putting in your bread to making linseed oil.

I grind up the seeds and use it in bread and cereal as a food supplement. It can also be used to absorb toxins in infected tissue when mixed with castor oil. I just like the way it tastes.
