Canadian Golden Flaxseed verses Brown Flaxseed
Brown flaxseed is found more commonly as it is grown commercially for the production of linseed oil, paint and other solvents. Canadian Golden Flaxseed is a gluten free hybrid seed from Europe developed specifically for human consumption and is preferred on the food market because of its nutty, buttery flavour. Golden flaxseed has much more stringent growing criteria, thus can only be grown in certain areas of the world. The soil must contain precise levels of nitrogen andperoxides, along with specific growing/weather conditions to produce the premium quality of golden seed with the higher quantities of Omega3 oils and fiber.
The best way to tell if you have the finest golden flax is to test it yourself.
1) Is it shiny? Is should be nice and shiny, since it is 48-53% oil.
2) Are the seeds plump? So many of our customers comment on the size of our seeds. Flat seeds contain less oil, fiber and lignans.
3) Is the taste a sweet, nutty flavor? Our golden flax will be crunchy to start, then gets chewy. Golden flaxseed sold in bulk is okay to purchase, just be aware that it consists of seeds that have been rejected by the packaging companies due to irregularities in the seeds (smaller, broken, improper weight, discolored, etc.)
