The price of this organic flax seed was just too good to pass up! Organic items always cost more. It’s just a fact of life. The better the quality, the higher the price. That said, this was a huge bag of ground flax seeds. To add to that, when I saw that the flax seed was organic, it pretty much sealed the deal for me, to be honest.
I usually buy whole flax seeds, though. The reason for this is that I like to grind the flax seeds up for more freshness. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that this flax seed was pretty fresh. And I should know because I have several uses for it. For instance, I like to add it to my morning smoothies. I also make flax eggs to replace regular eggs when I’m baking. (The binding quality of flax seeds is outstanding.) Sometimes, I just add ground flax seeds to my drinking water to increase my fiber intake. In short, the benefits of flax seed are endless. But, again, this package was nicely fresh. It wasn’t as fresh as it would have been if I had just ground it myself. But it was close, I have to admit.
By the way, I learned that all flax seed contains zinc, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and iron. But there’s one noticeable difference between brown flax seed and golden flax seed. Brown flax contains slightly more Omega 3 oil than golden flax seed. There’s a three percent difference between the two. (Fat comprises 38 percent of the brown variety, whereas it makes up 35 percent of the golden variety.) Some people might not really care about the difference. Others might prefer to have more Omega 3 oils in their diet. But for those who might be trying to lose weight, the golden flax seeds might be the preferred choice. After all, a lot of people consume flax seed each and every day. And everyone knows that the effect of daily dietary choices is cumulative. So, in this context, the golden flax seed might be slightly more beneficial for those who are closely monitoring their fat intake.
However, all flax seed is really healthy, right? At any rate, I was completely satisfied with this product, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it again.
