Spectrum Organic Ground Flaxseed -- 15 oz

Spectrum Organic Ground Flaxseed -- 15 oz

Cold Milled Organic Ground Premium Flaxseed - Omega-3 & Lignans. • Great Nutty Taste. • Good Source of Fiber. • Rich in Essential Fatty Acids. • Lignans 98mg per Serving. • 2.7g Omega-3 per Serving. THE TASTE OF GOODNESS™. What is good taste? For most people, taste is simply a matter of flavor. We believe that the taste of goodness is about making conscious and thoughtful decisions about the foods we eat, the planet we share and the people we work with everyday. THE BENEFITS OF FLAXSEED. Flaxseed offers the benefits of fiber, ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), protein and SDG lignans. Fiber promotes regularity, supports normal functioning of the digestive tract and can have a positive effect on cholesterol. ALA is an omega-3 essential fatty acid that supports heart health, and helps to maintain beautiful hair, skin and nails. SDG Lignans are phytonutrients that exhibit antioxidant properties and can have a balancing effect on hormones. NOT ALL FLASEEDS ARE CREATED EQUAL. Spectrum Flaxseeds are premium quality organic seeds that have been carefully selected for their nutritive content. Flaxseed is the most concentrated source of SDG lignans – which can vary from 0.7%-1.9% of seed weight, depending on seasonal variations and growing conditions. These select seeds are meticulously cleaned using a three-part process to remove low weight, broken, and dirty seeds commonly found in bulk bins. Only Spectrum uses a proprietary milling process that finely slices the seed, rather than crushing it, thereby preventing the loss of valuable nutrients from oxidation. The sliced seed is immediately packaged in this light-protective pouch and then flushed with an inert gas and airtight sealed to ensure optimum health benefits and product freshness.

"I like that the packaging is not so huge that I have to worry about spoilage once opened. However, I've discovered NOW Golden Flaxmeal and really prefer the lighter color in baked goods and slightly milder flavor."

Great taste and good for you!, July 10, 2009
By jjrj

"I've been using ground flaxseed for while and have used a few other products. I decided to try Spectrum for no apparent reason, and was gladly surprised. The flavor is rich and nutty and I could put in a lot more. My kids love it as well and that put it over the top for me."

"I love this product. It not only provides the fiber you need, but it also tastes great and is processed as cold milled, which is about the best process out there. As for effectiveness, everything moves as it should, but I can't be certain as far as how much Omega 3 & lignan is absorbed."
