Product Specific Questions:
Product of the USA:
Do you have to use it right away? How long can I keep it?
Our milled flax will last at least one year in the package from the time we produced it. If the product is stored properly it will last at least another six months.
Is Flax Seed considered a whole grain?
No-It is an oil seed. Milled flax seed has all the benefits of the whole seed but the body is able to utitlize all of the nutrients when it is milled.
Why is your flaxseed different?
We have a patented process on our flax. It is a cold rolled process to keep the oils below a certain temperature to keep the oils from going rancid. The quality of our product is unmatched. Fiber and oil benefits are all here.
What is the difference between brown and golden flaxseed?
Brown and golden flax are nutritionally identical and may be interchanged in recipes. Golden Flax Seed is organic.
How much omega-6 oil is in this product?
Approximately 800 mg per serving.
Does it have a flavor? What does it taste like?
It has a slightly nutty flavor.
Why is my product jumping around in the pouch?
This is caused by static electricity between the bag material and the product. It is harmless.
Does flax lose its nutritional benefits during baking?
No.
What happens if I do not refrigerate it?
The natural oils in flax are best kept cool or cold. Rancidity is a possibility if it is not stored properly.
