What it is

Golden flax is a variety of flaxseed, which is the seed of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). It is grown for its edible seeds, which are typically harvested, cleaned, and sometimes lightly processed. The seeds are a good source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add golden flax to foods for its nutritional content, particularly fiber and omega-3s, and for its texture. It is often found in baked goods like breads, muffins, and cookies, as well as in snack bars and cereals. It can also be used as an egg replacer in some vegan baking.

Health notes

Golden flax is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of dietary fiber, which can support digestive health. The omega-3 fatty acids, specifically alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), are considered beneficial for heart health. JECFA has evaluated flaxseed and found no safety concerns at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

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