Flax Seed – Whole Brown

(Linum usitatissimum)

Flax is one of the oldest cultivated crops in human history — Linum usitatissimum, whose Latin name means “most useful linen,” has been grown for at least 10,000 years for both its fiber (linen) and its seeds. Flax seeds have been consumed as a food across ancient Egypt, China, India, and the Mediterranean for millennia, and today they are one of the most popular functional food ingredients in the world.

Brown flax seeds have a mild, nutty flavor and are nutritionally identical to golden flax seeds. They are one of the richest plant sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid, as well as lignans — naturally occurring plant compounds — and dietary fiber. Our Flax Seed is Non-GMO, non-irradiated, and sourced from Canada, one of the world’s premier flax-growing regions.

How to Use

Ground Flax: For best nutritional availability, grind flax seeds in a coffee grinder or blender before consuming — whole seeds may pass through the digestive system undigested. Store ground flax in the refrigerator and use within a week. Smoothies & Shakes: Add 1–2 tablespoons of ground flax to smoothies for a nutritional boost and mild nutty flavor. Baking: Incorporate ground flax into muffins, breads, pancakes, and cookies. Egg Substitute: Mix 1 tablespoon ground flax with 3 tablespoons water and let sit for 5 minutes to create a flax “egg” — a popular vegan baking substitute. Oatmeal & Yogurt: Sprinkle ground flax over oatmeal, yogurt, or cereal. Whole Seeds: Use whole seeds in bread baking, crackers, and as a topping for salads and grain bowls.
