Brown or golden flax seeds?
There are two types of flax seeds: brown and
golden. Their nutritional qualities and flavours are
comparable.
Why grind flax seeds?
To take full advantage of all its benefits!
The stomach cannot dissolve the husk during
digestion. Flax seeds must therefore be ground,
so that the body can absorb all the benefits of
these amazing seeds.
Recommended daily intake
The recommended intake is 5 to 10 g of flax
seeds a day. 1 spoon = 5 g
How do you store flax seeds?
Whole seeds can easily be stored in an airtight
container at room temperature. Once ground,
however, flaxseed quickly oxidises in contact with
air and light, and becomes rancid.
Therefore, you are advised to grind flax seeds
just before use and to store any surplus in an air-
tight container placed in a refrigerator. Flax seeds
must be consumed soon after grinding.
How do you use flax seeds?
Flax seeds have a pleasant taste similar to wal-
nuts or hazelnuts.
Ground flax seeds can easily be eaten at diffe-
rent times of the day:
. Breakfast: in a bowl of cereal or yoghurt.
. Lunch or dinner: in a salad, on raw or cooked
vegetables, or with rice, or mixed in sweet or sa-
voury preparations (pastry, cakes, etc.).
