Milled Organic Flaxseed

Milled organic flaxseed is made from whole 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 makes the nutrients in the seeds more accessible for digestion.

Milled flaxseed is often added to foods for its nutritional value, acting as a source of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. It can also function as a binder or thickener in baked goods and other food products. It is commonly found in breakfast cereals, baked goods like muffins and breads, and snack bars.

Milled flaxseed is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a good source of dietary fiber and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. Some research suggests that consuming flaxseed may have benefits for heart health and digestion, though more studies are needed. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated flaxseed and its components.
