Linen: in your shirt, your porridge & your garden

 

By: Nomad Dimitri

Originally published on Oct 10, 2016

Most people’s favorite natural fiber is cotton which is, actually, lousy by at least one measure: it is water-loving (“hydrophilic”). Cotton soaks and holds the moisture from your body, which is why sports companies sell you synthetic gym clothes.

Linen, on the other hand, is perfect for “breathing” and wicking moisture away from your body.

But that is not all: linen seeds are super nutritious and so is linen oil, which is also perfect for nourishing your wood table.

The linen plant also shines in the garden, with hundreds of blue flowers blooming continuously from early spring to autumn. And it is super easy to grow. Check it out!
