Have you wondered what to do with Golden Flax seed if it is whole seed?
Grind Flax. The
Omega 3 oil in Flax seed can go rancid if it is ground and then left sitting out of the fridge, because the heating process starts the Omega 3 oils to break down and denature. You can grind whole flax seed in a coffee grinder in a blender, then is best to eat the ground flax that day or put it in the fridge, which will prevent the Omega 3 oils from denaturing and going rancid.
We now have True Cold Milled Flax that is a special, ONE-OF-A-KIND method invented by the farmer and it NEVER exposes the flax seed to any heat; therefore, just like cold-pressed Olive Oil, the
flax will not go rancid and you can leave the
True Cold Milled Flakes sitting on your shelf easy to use every day!
Some of us just don't have the time to grind flax seed! I know I don't! It has to be easy to add flax into every day life, otherwise it is so easy to get too busy! That is why we recommend the
True Cold Milled Flax, so you can easily add it into your lifestyle and get all the benefits from Golden Flax!
