Flax seeds are thought to have originated in the ancient Middle East during biblical times. They are an important source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, including Omega-3, plus Magnesium, Zinc and dietary fiber. Flax oil from flax seeds is the richest known source of linolenic acid. It contains protein, mucilage, phytosterols and lignans, which are naturally included at 100 times the level of the next best source, wheat bran.

great product The flax seed has a fresh and healthy look. I grind it for use and it has a great aroma and wonderful taste. I have bought other flax seed and it had stems and refuse in it but this product is very clean. January 7, 2010

Economical Source of Omega-3's Flaxseeds provide an excellent source of Omega-3 essentail fatty acids as well as fiber. I grind them in small batches in my blender and sprinkle them on yogurt and cereal. 2-3 tablespoons a day is all you need to get your daily dose of Omega-3's. August 18, 2009
Good For Chickens I give this to my chickens to have Omega's in my eggs. They love it! July 30, 2009
