What it is

Organic flaxmeal is made from ground organic flaxseeds. Flaxseeds are small, nutrient-rich seeds from the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum), which has been cultivated for thousands of years. The grinding process makes the nutrients in the seeds more accessible for the body to absorb.

Why it's used

Flaxmeal is often added to baked goods like breads, muffins, and cookies, as well as cereals and granola bars. It can act as a binder, helping to hold ingredients together, and adds a slightly nutty flavor and texture. It is also valued for its nutritional content, particularly fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.

Health notes

Flaxmeal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of dietary fiber, which can aid digestion, and contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid. JECFA has evaluated flaxseed and its components. While research is ongoing, typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Flaxmeal is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is naturally gluten-free.
