What it is

Flaxseed comes from the flax plant, which has been cultivated for thousands of years. The seeds are typically ground to make them easier to digest and absorb nutrients. Organic ground flax is produced without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Why it's used

Ground flaxseed is often added to foods for its nutritional value, particularly its fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. It can also act as a binder in baked goods, similar to an egg. You can find it in breads, cereals, granola, and baked goods.

Health notes

Flaxseed is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of dietary fiber and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. Some research suggests potential benefits for heart health and digestion, but more studies are needed. JECFA has evaluated flaxseed and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).

Allergen info

Flaxseed is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
