FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: for treatment one uses ripe flax seeds with moisture content equal to 5-6 %, then wetted with water till moisture content is 12-15%, maintained during 3-5 minutes. Then one continuously supplies the seeds onto a metal net and evenly distributes them in a 3-8 mm thick layer. Then the seeds undergo momentary heating during 30-150 seconds at a temperature of 150-350°C. Heating is performed from below and from above. Heating is interchanged with maintenance without heating during 10-15 seconds.

EFFECT: invention ensures production of a new kind product with functional and preventive properties due to flax seeds sorption capacity enhancement, reduction of seeds population with foreign microflora, enhancement of sorption capacity for binding and removal of heavy metals and radionuclides.
