How to Enjoy
- Mill flaxseed and balance your consumption of fatty acids by adding flax to your salads, smoothies, cereals, baked goods, almost anything! 1 Tbs of milled flax provides enough ALA to meet daily dietary requirements. Grind a desired amount of flax seeds to a free-flowing granular consistency in a coffee bean grinder.
- Add crunch and eye appeal to bread, pancakes, muffins or cookies by adding whole flaxseed.
- Make your favorite granola, mixed cereal oatmeal or muesli with a generous proportion of flaxseed for great taste and a huge nutrition boost.
- Replace the oil or shortening in a recipe with milled flax seed. If a recipe calls for 1/3 c of oil, use 1 c of milled flax to replace the oil — a 3:1 substitution ratio. When flax is used instead of oil, baked goods tend to brown more rapidly so cooking times may need to be adjusted.
- Add to soups, casseroles, fillings in small quantities or more to taste. Flax will add flavor, richness and texture to any dish.
How to Prepare
- For optimum freshness and nutrition, flax should be ground on demand. Flax should not be ground for storage due to it's susceptibility to going rancid.
- A coffee bean grinder is recommended for milling flaxseeds.

Our flaxseed is grown in Western Canada on healthy organic soils.
It is part of Fieldstone Granary's coordinated Organic Producer plan, where crops are grown within one degree of separation, according to the high standards of the Canadian Organic Regime. This way Fieldstone can assure a high level of purity and integrity of the grain.
