What it is
Organic brown flaxseeds are the seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum) grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The seeds are harvested, cleaned, and dried. They are typically consumed whole or ground.
Why it's used
Flaxseeds are added to foods for their nutritional value, particularly fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. They can also act as a binder in baked goods, replacing eggs. They are often found in breads, cereals, crackers, and snack bars.
Health notes
Flaxseeds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of dietary fiber, lignans, and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. Some research suggests potential benefits for heart health and digestion, but more studies are needed. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated flaxseeds.
Allergen info
Flaxseeds are not one of the nine major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
