Now Foods Golden Flax Seeds (Certified Organic) 2 lbs

Certified Organic Ideal for Baking Flax seeds are one of the oldest foods known to man.  Remnants of flax seeds were found in an excavation in southeastern Turkey dating back to early biblical years.  Today, flax seeds are gaining consumer interest because of their high nutrient content.   Flax oil derived from Golden Flax Seeds is one of the highest known vegetarian sources of soluble fiber, magnesium, zinc and linolenic acid (an Omega-3 fatty acid).  The Omega-3 content of the oil is typically 52%.  Flax seeds also provide protein, mucilage, phytosterols and plant lignans.   Microbiologically tested for your safety.   Our Golden Flax Seeds are grown on rich soil in North Dakota and are best suited for baking, especially bread baking.
