Flax is an important crop seen in the game, School of Dragons. It is later mentioned in another game, Dragons: Rise of Berk
Description[]
Flax (Linum usitatissimum) is a fairly tall-growing plant with lance-shaped leaves and lovely blue flowers. Flax has been cultivated in Asia and Europe for tens of thousands of years and is its own species, as opposed to being a domesticated subspecies of a wild variant.
Function[]
Flax has been widely used for thousands of years to make textiles - specifically cordage and linen cloth. The seeds are also nutritious and are high in short-chain Omega 3 fatty acids. Oil can be extracted from the seeds, a meal ground from it, they can be eaten as is, or sprouted then consumed.
In School of Dragons, flax flowers are erroneously mentioned as the source of fibers to make textiles, when in reality the fibers come from a component in the stems. Other than this, several Farm Jobs ask for flax to make fish netting and other items.
