Flax Seed

Whole flax seed from certified organic farms, single ingredient with no processing additives. Flax carries the highest plant concentration of alpha-linolenic acid, the plant-form omega-3, along with substantial soluble fibre and lignans. One practical thing determines whether you get any of that: whole flax seed passes through the digestive tract largely intact, because the hull resists breaking down. Grinding it immediately before use is not a refinement, it is the difference between absorbing the omega-3 and not. Grind small quantities as you need them rather than in bulk — the oils oxidise quickly once the seed is broken, which is also why pre-ground flaxmeal on a warm shelf is often already rancid. Store whole seed cool and dark. Dry-roast lightly and grind for chutney powder, stir into batters, or use ground with water as an egg substitute in baking. Pure & Sure tests each harvest against 250+ pesticide residues in NABL and ISO 17025 accredited laboratories.
