Flax seeds are one of the oldest foods known to man. Remnants of flax seeds were found in an excavation in southeastern Turkey dating back to early biblical years. Today, flax seeds are gaining consumer interest because of their high nutrient content.

Flax oil derived from Golden Flax Seeds is one of the highest known vegetarian sources of soluble fiber, magnesium, zinc and linolenic acid (an Omega-3 fatty acid). The Omega-3 content of the oil is typically 52%. Flax seeds also provide protein, mucilage, phytosterols and plant lignans.

Microbiologically tested for your safety.

These Golden Flax Seeds are grown on rich soil in North Dakota and are best suited for baking, especially bread baking. Grind your own Golden Flax Seeds on a daily basis for the freshest and healthiest seed oil. Add to cereals, salads and blender drinks. Take with plenty of fluids.

Flax Seeds (NOW) - Average rating 5 (1 review)  - Write a review Show Reviews Reviews (1) (0) (0) (0) (0)   March 01, 2011 Reviewer: Donna in North Carolina I have been using this product in seed and meal form for several years. One of the cool things with the flax seed meal is when I need a thickener all I have to do is add a little flax meal to the pot and it will thicken up, but add a little at a time and the longer it sets the thicker it gets. I use the seed for everything from homemade bread topping to salads. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No
