both soluble and insoluble fiber, and is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. The

than more commonly grown Brown Flax Seed.
Since Golden flaxseed also has a slightly higher omega 3 fatty acid
content and a higher soluble fiber content, making it a bit more
appropriate for cancer patients, diabetics, and for lowering cholesterol.
