What it is

Golden flax seeds are the seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). They are small, flat, and golden-yellow in color. The seeds are harvested and typically sold whole or ground.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add golden flax seeds for their nutritional content and texture. They are often used in baked goods like crackers, cookies, and cereals to add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. They can also be used as an egg replacer in vegan baking.

Health notes

Golden flax seeds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a good source of fiber, lignans, and omega-3 fatty acids. While generally considered healthy, consuming large amounts may cause digestive discomfort. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flax seeds, noting their nutritional benefits.

Allergen info

Golden flax seeds are not one of the nine major FDA allergens. They do not contain gluten.
