What it is

Milled flax meal is made from flaxseeds that have been ground into a meal. Flaxseeds are small, brown or golden seeds that come from the flax plant, which is grown in many parts of the world. The milling process breaks down the whole seed into a powder, making its nutrients more accessible.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add milled flax meal as a source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, and as a binder in baked goods. It can also be used as an egg replacer in vegan baking. You can find it in cookies, muffins, bread, and frozen vegetarian products.

Health notes

Milled flax meal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of dietary fiber, lignans, and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid. JECFA has evaluated flaxseed and its components. Some studies suggest potential benefits for heart health and digestion due to its fiber and ALA content, but more research is needed to confirm these effects.

Allergen info

Flax meal is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
