Features & Benefits

Product Highlights

Organic brown flaxseed is rich in fat, protein, and dietary fiber. The analysis on Canadian flax is composed of an average of 41% fat, 20% protein, 28% total dietary fiber, 7.7% moisture, and 3.4% ash. These levels can vary, depending on the genetics of the seed. The oil content of the flax can be altered through traditional plant breeding methods, and it is affected by geography. Northern Canada, known for its cool nights, improves the oil content and quality of the seed.
