Organic Brown flax seeds have a rich history dating back thousands of years. Renowned for their nutritional benefits, these small, dark brown seeds are a powerhouse of nutrients. They boast high levels of omega-3 fatty acids (ALA), fiber, and lignans with antioxidant properties. Ground flax seeds can be used as an egg substitute in vegan baking or added to baked goods such as protein bars, pancakes and muffins to enhance their nutritional profile. Freshly ground flax seeds add a nutty flavor when sprinkled on cereals and added to smoothies. To obtain optimal goodness and better absorption by the body flax seeds should be ground just prior to consuming.
Brown flax seeds, also known as linseeds, have a rich history dating back thousands of years. Originating in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, flax seeds were highly valued for their nutritional and medicinal properties. These small, brown seeds are derived from the flax plant and have been cultivated for various purposes throughout history.
Brown flax seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids (ALA), fiber, protein, vitamins (such as B vitamins), and minerals (such as magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese).
Flax seeds have a diverse range of applications and can be incorporated into your food in several ways. Ground flax seeds can be added to smoothies and shakes, or sprinkled on breakfast cereal such as oatmeal and yogurt to add a nutty flavor and contribute healthy fats and fiber. Flax seeds can be ground and used as an egg substitute in vegan baking recipes. This “flax egg” can help bind ingredients together and works well in muffins, pancakes, and other baked goods. Flax seeds can be ground and included in homemade energy bars, granola bars, or protein bars to provide a nutrient-dense and energy-boosting snack. To obtain optimal goodness and better absorption by the body flax seeds should be ground just prior to consuming.
The omega-3 fatty acids (ALA), fiber, and lignans, are just a few of the reasons for adding flax seeds to your meals and snacks and a convenient way to enhance the nutritional content of your diet and support overall health.

Brown Flax Seeds should be stored in a cool, dry place. If in doubt, store in the fridge or freezer. The protective shell of the flax seed helps to preserve the oil within the seed. For this reason its best to store flax in the seed form. We recommend grinding flax when you are about to eat it to preserve its nutritional content. Fieldstone Organics Brown Flax Seeds are stored in our refrigerated warehouse until such time as they are distributed. Due to the oil content in flax seeds we recommend cool, dry, storage.
Fieldstone Organics is proud to provide wholesale and commercial orders for organic whole grains, ancient grains, and heritage grains to customers throughout BC and in parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
