What it is

Gold flax seeds are small, golden-brown seeds from the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). They are harvested and cleaned for use as a food ingredient. They have a mild, nutty flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add gold flax seeds for their nutritional value and texture. They are often found in baked goods like crackers, cookies, and bread, as well as in snack mixes and popcorn.

Health notes

Gold flax seeds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and lignans, which are plant compounds with antioxidant properties. The WHO/IARC has not classified flaxseed. JECFA has evaluated flaxseed and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). Evidence on specific health benefits is ongoing.

Allergen info

Flaxseed is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
