What it is

Organic flaxseed meal is made from ground organic flaxseeds. Flaxseeds are small, nutrient-rich seeds from the flax plant, grown for thousands of years. The grinding process makes the nutrients in the seeds more accessible for the body to absorb.

Why it's used

Flaxseed meal is often added to baked goods like breads, muffins, and cookies to boost their nutritional content. It can also be used as a binder in vegetarian recipes, replacing eggs, or as a topping for cereals and yogurt. Its mild, nutty flavor complements many foods.

Health notes

Flaxseed meal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of fiber, lignans, and omega-3 fatty acids. JECFA has evaluated flaxseed, and EFSA has evaluated flaxseed oil, but no specific regulatory limits for flaxseed meal are typically set. Some studies suggest potential benefits for heart health and digestion due to its fiber and omega-3 content, but more research is needed to confirm these effects.

Allergen info

Flaxseed is not one of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
