The Taste of GoodnessTM
What is good taste? For most people taste is simply a matter of flavor. We beleive that the taste of goodness is about making conscious and thoughtful decisions about the foods we eat, the planet we share and the people we work with every day.
The Benefits of Flaxseed
Flaxseed offers the benefits of fiber, ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), protein and SDG lignans.* Fiber promotes regularity, supports normal functioning of the digestive tract and can have a positive effect on cholesterol.* ALA is an omega-3 essential fatty acid that supports heart health, and helps to maintain beautiful hair, skin and nails.* SDG Lignans are phytonutrients that exhibit antioxidant properties and can have a balancing effect on hormones.*
Not All Flaxseeds Are Created Equal
Spectrum Flaxseeds are premium quality organic seeds that have been carefully selected for their nutritive content. Flaxseed is the most concentrated source of SDG lignans - which can vary from 0.7% - 1.9% of seed weight depending on seasonal variations and growing conditions. These select seeds are meticulously cleaned using a three-part process to remove low weight, broken, and dirty seeds commonly found in bulk bins. Only Spectrum uses a proprietary seeds commonly found in bulk bins. Only Spectrum uses a proprietary milling process that finely slices the seed, rather than crushing it, thereby preventing the loss of valuable nutrients from oxidation. The sliced seed is immediately packaged in this light-protective pouch and then flushed with an inert gas and airtight sealed to ensure optimum health benefits and product freshn

 Didn't Care for the Taste May 3, 2010
William Haugen (Glenville, PA United States)
Simply didn't care for the taste and texture if the flaxseed. I would recommend wheat germ instead as it has similar health benefits. I dropped candy (well, almost) and combined fish oil, wheat germ, exercise, and limited my red meat intake to get my cholesterol down from 209 to 135 (without Lipitor). While the flaxseed may do the same, as advertised, it's difficult to mix into various foods (my dad likes it on peanut-butter), and alters the taste and texture.
 Good quality March 8, 2010
Brittany G. Becker (Oregon)
Growing up on an organic farm that raised flax, the quality on this product is great! Highly recommend!
Tasty nutritional supplement January 24, 2010
Katrinka (San Antonio, TX)
I started buying ground flaxseed as a nutritional supplement (primarily for Omega-3 and lignans) to put on my cereal or oatmeal every morning and grew to really enjoy the subtly nutty taste. I've always bought the Spectrum brand ground flaxseed since it seems super-fresh. I keep it in my refrigerator after opening and it stays fresh to the bottom of the bag. A nice side benefit (and I notice no reviewer has mentioned this yet), is increased, um, regularity!
Great price slow delivery January 13, 2010
Ernest Chavez (ca)
This is a great product. I am very happy with it. The only problem I have is the delivery. I had to wait 3 or 4 weeks.

I really use this every day it has helped reduce my cholesterol. Helps to regulate without bloating. It also taste good. I order 3 to 4 packs each time so I don't run out.
