What it is

Organic ground flaxseed is made from whole flaxseeds that have been milled into a coarse powder. Flaxseeds are tiny, nutrient-rich seeds that come from the flax plant, which is cultivated in many parts of the world. Grinding the seeds makes their nutrients more accessible for the body to absorb.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add ground flaxseed to baked goods and cereals for its nutritional value and to add texture. It can act as a binder in vegan baking, replacing eggs, and contributes dietary fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.

Health notes

Flaxseed is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of dietary fiber, lignans, and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has evaluated flaxseed and found it to be safe. Some research suggests potential benefits for heart health and digestion, but more studies are needed to confirm these effects.

Allergen info

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