After harvest, lots are cleaned, graded, and packaged at the nearest practical facility to origin to keep freight efficient and documentation consistent.

Flax Seed Whole Brown and Gold

Brown flaxseed is the most common variety and has a mild, nutty flavor. It is often used in baked goods, cereals, other food products, and dietary supplements. Golden flaxseed is a less common variety with a milder flavor than brown flaxseed. It is also known for its softer texture and lighter color, which some people find more visually appealing. Like brown flaxseed, golden flaxseed is used in various food products and dietary supplements. Both brown and golden flaxseed are highly nutritious and rich in omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, and fiber. They are also low in carbohydrates and high in protein, making them a popular choice for people following low-carb or high-protein diets.
