Flax Farm's Linseed meal is the whole seeds finely ground. This makes linseed gentler, more effective, more nutritious and much, much nicer.

Why is our Linseed Meal so Good for You? The Key to the health benefits of our ground linseed meal is that it is very low GI, rich in dietary fibre - of which at least a third is the important soluble fibre, it is one of nature's richest sources of Omega-3 and it's very rich in hormone balancing lignans

Bronze of Gold Linseed Meal? We grind two varieties of linseed to make two sorts of meal; both have identical nutritional properties: 

Bronze Linseed Meal 

This a little nuttier tasting, many people prefer this variety for porridge, muesli and baking.

Gold Linseed Meal

This is even finer ground and has a very light flavour,this makes it very versatile for adding into other foods and drinks.

How to Use Linseed for health:

• For general health use approx 1 oz/25g/ 2 heaped dessert spoons of Flax Farm Ground Linseed Meal per day. (see recipe pages for ideas) 
• For the digestion and hormone balance use approx 1 oz/25g/ 2 heaped dessert spoons of Flax Farm Ground Linseed Meal; add to foods (see recipe pages for ideas) up to twice a day and drink an extra glass of water with the meal. For hormone balance it is important to use the linseed meal every day.

Ladies of certain age...
(Speaking from personal experience we think this means ladies of all ages!) Linseed’s well-deserved reputation comes from the fact that the husk of the seed is nature’s richest source of lignans.  Lignans are are mild phytoestrogens or plant estrogens that balance hormones during and after the menopause.  They even help to calm and sooth the  symptoms of the monthly cycle.
