About Flax

Flax is a bluish-purple flowering plant that is abundantly grown in cooler, northern climates. As flax matures, it produces flaxseed, a high-fiber oilseed that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

In addition, flaxseed has a high lignin content and also contains mucilage gums. This unique combination of nutrients– omega-3 fatty acids, high-lignin content and mucilage gums— have many health benefits:

  • Relieves skin conditons
  • Lowers cholesterol
  • Eliminates constipation
  • Reduces inflammation and heart disease

“No other commonly eaten nuts or seeds contain such a combination of healthy nutrients.”

What makes our flaxseed the best choice?

Cool climate

North Dakota has the ideal climate for growing flax because flax grows best in cool nights with a dry harvest and adequate rainfall throughout the growing season.

Best practices

Our growers are invited to attend Good Agricultural Practices Training (GAP) annually. This is an in-person training that meets the requirements of the FSMA Produce Safety Rule. We co-sponsor this with the North Dakota Department of Ag in order to ensure food safety best practices are followed on our growers’ farms.

Local growers

The seeds in our products are grown locally. We have long-term good working relationships with our growers, helping and supporting them during all parts of the growing season. We often make visits to the fields to monitor the crops in our products.

FAQ´s

We work almost exclusively with the variety Omega golden flaxseed so there is a lot of consistency since we work with only this variety.  It has a nutty taste and a bright golden color.
Brown flaxseed has well over 100 varieties in the world and there can be inconsistencies in taste between varieties. The color varies from light to dark brown.  The nutritional profile is nearly the same as golden flaxseed.
Milled flaxseed cake is defatted.  It has been run through an expeller with most of the oil pressed out of it. It has 8 to 10% fat content.
Milled flaxseed mills the whole seed.  It contains 40% fat. 
Both are used as an ingredient in food production and as an animal feed ingredient.
