Product Details

These are whole organic flaxseeds, the intact seed rather than the ground meal, and the two behave quite differently in the kitchen. The hard shell means the seed keeps its shape and its snap through mixing and baking, so this is the form to reach for when you want visible seeds and a bit of crunch. The brand labels this bag Keto Friendly.

A few minutes in a dry skillet over medium heat brings out a toasty, nutty flavor and makes the seeds noticeably crisper. Scatter them over a loaf before it goes in the oven, work them into seeded crackers and rye doughs, fold them through granola and muesli, or use them as a finishing sprinkle on salads, soups and yogurt bowls.

Whole seed also gives you the option to grind your own: a spice or coffee grinder turns a spoonful into fresh flaxseed meal for recipes that call for it, including a flax egg. Buying the seed whole simply leaves that choice in your hands.

Questions About This Product

The things people actually want to know before they cook with it.

Do I need to grind these before eating them?
If you are eating them for the contents of the seed, yes. The hard shell resists digestion and a good share of whole flaxseed passes through the gut intact. Grinding is what makes the inside of the seed available. Whole seed is still the right choice when you want it for texture, in a seeded crust or scattered over a loaf, where it is doing a different job.
How do I make a flax egg with these?
Grind the seed first, then combine one tablespoon of the resulting flaxseed meal with three tablespoons of water and let it stand about five minutes until it thickens. That stands in for one egg. Double or triple the quantities for recipes needing more.
Are these brown or golden flaxseeds, and does it matter?
These are brown. Bob's Red Mill describes brown as a little nuttier in taste and golden as milder, and considers the two effectively the same nutritionally. The practical choice comes down to flavour and to how visible you want dark specks to be in a pale dough or batter.
Are flaxseeds and linseeds the same thing?
Yes, the same seed from the same plant. Linseed is the older name, still standard in Britain and in the paint and wood-finishing trades. A British or Australian recipe asking for linseed means exactly this.
Are they gluten free?
Yes. Flaxseed is a seed rather than a cereal grain, and Bob's Red Mill labels this bag gluten free. It will not introduce gluten into a gluten free bake.
