Organic Brown Flax, 1.75 lbs.
Our brown flax seed (linum usitatissimum) is certified organic, non-GMO, triple-cleaned and useful for all kinds of cooking purposes. Brown 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. Whole flax seeds can be stored in an airtight container for up to a year.
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 brown and golden flax are virtually the same in their levels of omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, and fiber. Brown and golden 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.
The flax seed is packaged in a clear, plastic bag; the bag is sealed, and has a zip closure to reclose after the top of the bag has been removed.
Super-Cleaned
All of our flax is triple-cleaned to ensure purity and protect your grain mill from any foreign objects. The cleaning process does not use water, any liquid chemicals or washing procedures. The flax is cleaned using a screener, destoning and gravity table as well as a color sorter. The flax is also not heat treated in any way. (Flax seed that isn't sufficiently cleaned may contain small stones that will damage or destroy a grain mill... not to mention that you don't want such things in your food!)
Non-GMO
All of Pleasant Hill Grain's whole grain products are natural (non-GMO). Also, PHG does not sell any grains, beans, lentils, pulses or seeds sourced from China. The brown flax on this page has a 2 year shelf life.

The ceramic grinding burrs in Kuhn Rikon's Mini Vase Grinder are on top, so unsightly dust is never left on your table or counter. Invert the grinder to dispense with an easy twist. The mini vase grinder is great to use while cooking and then to set on your tabletop with your meal. Grind salt, pepper, dried herbs, spices and flax seeds in an instant.
80% of flavor is really aroma: To get the most aroma from spices and seeds it's best, by far, to grind them fresh.

I am so pleased that I found a place to get quality grains and seeds. Especially knowing I can trust the source! What a gem of a company. Also important for me was the packing of the products when it arrived. You can really tell that they care!
This flax is so fresh. I used it just today to mill in with hard white and hard wheat to make 3 large loaves of bread for our non-profit coffeehouse. Will buy again when I run out.
Since the pandemic started, we have purchased many different items from Pleasant Hill. Our #1 criteria for any food item is that it be organically grown, which many of Pleasant Hill's items are. We have found all of their products to be high quality. We have also found their Customer Service to be extremely helpful.
Package came well packed and on time. Good price for Organic Brown Flax seed. Clean and fresh.
i couldn’t believe how fast the order arrived!
I received my order in a very timely manner and it was packed correctly and protected from the shipping company's ruff handling.
I'm enjoying using the Bamix blender; a well made product built to last. Thank you for offering organic flax seeds; a good quality brand.
Very good quality. Fast shipping.
I've ordered these flax seeds a few times now. They are just the right amount for what I need, which is a few tablespoons in with my oats each morning. Excellent product quality. If you are needing some flax seeds but don't want an entire bucket, try a bag of these. As always, customer service with PHG is top notch!
Liked that you have non-GMO products and you sell in bulk but also smaller quantities giving me the chance to try them all. Liked the packing system that preserve freshness. Your precision to deliver and so easy to have it at home with free delivery. I will always buy from you. Being vegetarian vegan I really appreciate the practicability of buying in one place. Loved to find your company!! Geny C - Bethesda MD
