Organic Golden Flax, 36 lbs.
Our golden flax seed (linum flavum) is certified organic, non-GMO and useful for all kinds of cooking purposes. Golden flax has a mild, pleasantly nutty flavor. Enjoy the flavor and health benefits of flax by adding it to protein smoothies, juices, salads, cereals, casseroles, baked goods, and even desserts... the list is endless!
The outer layer of flaxseed is so hard and fibrous that we can’t actually digest it, even with extensive chewing, so grinding flax seed is essential to absorbing the powerhouse of nutrition it offers. We recommend using a coffee/seed mill to grind your seed shortly before using it. Ground flax is highly perishable and turns rancid quickly, so grinding small amounts as needed is recommended.
Flax has earned a great reputation, thanks to its plant lignans which promote heart health, maintain bone density, and balance estrogen which can help fend of and fight certain cancers. Flax seed is actually the richest source of plant lignans, containing up to 800 times more lignans than other plant foods!
Flax seed is also rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids which improve brain, eye, heart, bone and joint health. Omega-3 decreases inflammation, fights autoimmune diseases and depression, improves concentration, and so much more. Flaxseed is one of the best sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fat. Flax is one of the highest dietary sources of omega-3, surpassed only by chia seeds.
A common myth surrounding flax is that one color may be superior to the other, but nutritional studies have shown that golden and brown flax are virtually the same in their levels of omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, and fiber. Golden and brown flax both contain about 3 grams of fiber. Brown flax seeds provide slightly more ALA, at 2.5 grams per tablespoon, while golden flax seeds contain 2.1 grams. A tablespoon of either type provides your entire daily recommended ALA intake.
Looking for ways to add fiber to your diet to improve your digestive health and maintain healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels? Flax offers both soluble and insoluble fiber. Thanks to its soluble fiber content, ground flax seeds create a gummy consistency when mixed with water, so those on an egg-free diet can use flax as an egg replacement. To replace one egg, grind 1 tablespoon of flax seeds and mix with 3 tablespoons of water.
Flax oil, also known as linseed oil, is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, but the highly desirable lignans and fiber found in the whole seed are removed in the process of making flax oil. Flax oil is a delicate oil and oxidizes easily, so it’s best to use it raw. To keep the oil fresh, store it tightly sealed in the refrigerator.
Just one tablespoon of flaxseed per day will provide a good amount of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, as well as a boost your intake of B vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium.
Super-cleaned
All of our flax is cleaned to ensure purity and protect your grinder from any foreign objects. (Flax seed that isn't sufficiently cleaned may contain small stones that will damage or destroy a mill... not to mention that you don't want such things in your food!) All of our golden flax is cleaned to 99.99% purity by weight. To clean, the flax is processed using a screener, gravity table, de-stoner, and magnets. Achieving this level of quality may require further processing yet, through a color sorter. No liquids, soaps or additives of any kind are used in the cleaning process, and the flax isn't heat treated in any way.
Shelf Life
Our organic golden flax seed has a shelf life of 10+ years when unopened and stored in a cool, dark, dry environment.

Accessories for this product:
Don't be afraid of the plastic construction of this handy lid removal tool. We've used them for years here at PHG. They work great and we've never had one break.
Overall length of the tool is 8.25".
Note: Some bucket lids have several points around their lower lip that must be snipped with a cutting tool prior to removal. No matter what sort of tool you use to pry the lid off, if you're working with that sort of lid then it is indeed necessary to snip the lid at those points, first. Such "snip points" vary in appearance and may or may not be marked with words like "Cut Here" or with a scissors symbol. Another type of lid has a circumferential "tear strip" around its bottom edge. With such lids you may not need a lid removal wrench to use after pulling the tear-strip away, but one can be helpful to those with hand weakness due to arthritis or other reasons.

These crystal clear containers are durable and lightweight. Made of PET plastic, you can knock them around without concern for damage. The walls are very thin, yet have plenty of rigidity and are very, very tough.
Available in two sizes, they lend themselves to use either out on your counter, or in the cupboard... and the contents are always visible at a glance thanks to the very clear transparency of the PET material. Fingergrip indentations at one side make them very easy to grab and secure to hold, and the large mouth is easy to scoop or pour from. Threaded lid is metal with rubber seal that keeps food fresh... and the seal is fused in place, so it won't fall out. Hand washing is recommended. Sold as a set of four containers with lids.
Dimensions: The 1 gallon container measures 5"W x 5.5"D x 10"H. The half gallon container measures 4.5"W x 5"D x 7.3"H. Each has a 4" lid opening.
Note: Grain not included. Containers arrive empty.
