## About
A spoonful stirred into the morning oats at a scrubbed wooden table: flax has belonged to mornings like this for a very long time. It is among the oldest cultivated plants on record, grown for fiber and food since the Neolithic and worked into the porridges and dense breads of Northern Europe.This is the golden variety, milder in flavor than brown, cold-milled in small batches to a fine, tawny meal with a faint hay-like scent and a texture just short of gritty. Whole flaxseed keeps its oils locked behind a hard seed coat; milling opens it, and milling cold keeps the friction-heat low enough to protect those oils from turning rancid. Stirred into liquid it thickens within minutes and turns faintly gelatinous, which makes it as useful in baking as at the table.DetailsGround golden flaxseed, cold-milled in small batchesContains fiber, plant omega-3 and lignansStorage: refrigerate once openedHow to useStir a tablespoon or two into oatmeal, yogurt or batter, always with a full glass of water alongside.
