Organic Flaxseed Protein

Organic flaxseed protein is derived from flaxseeds, which are small seeds from the flax plant. After the oil is extracted from the seeds, the remaining pulp is dried and ground into a powder. This powder is a source of plant-based protein.

Manufacturers add organic flaxseed protein to foods as a source of protein and fiber. It is often found in plant-based protein powders, energy bars, cereals, and baked goods. Its mild, nutty flavor can complement various food products.

Organic flaxseed protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of dietary fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health. Flaxseed is also a source of lignans, which have antioxidant properties. JECFA has evaluated flaxseed and found no safety concerns. Evidence suggests that regular consumption of flaxseed may help manage blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
