The cloverleaf shape of the rolls is perfect for portion control and easy serving.

CONS

Flaxseed can cause digestive problems if not consumed in moderation.

The calorie count of each roll is slightly high, with about 150 calories per roll, so they should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
