Cold Milled Flax

Cold Milled Flax Seeds - Certified-organic flax seeds carefully chosen for nutritional value and taste. Cold milling chops the seed without heating the mill blades, so the essential fatty acids remain intact. The flax is not crushed, so the precious oil is retained. Flax Seeds contain both lignans and essential fatty acids (EFA's). EFA's are essential for good health. Lignans, also known as complex carbohydrates or polysaccharides, are an important part of high-fiber foods that come from plants. Flax seeds have 75-800 times more lignans than as many as 68 other fruits and vegetables. They are the richest available source of plant lignans. Organic flax seeds are a vegetarian and gluten free source of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA's). Since our bodies cannot produce EFA's, they must be obtained from our diet.
