USES
Organic brown flax seeds can be eaten in a number of ways. They add a nutty flavour to breads, bagels, muffins, or granola products. Flax seeds can also be added to smoothies or hot cereal (1 or 2 tablespoons per serving) during or after cooking. For proper digestion, it is best to grind the seeds into a paste or meal before mixing with other ingredients.

STORAGE
Organic flax seeds are rich in oil. The alpha-linolenic acid is stable only in the whole flax seed when stored in a cool dry place away from excessive light and moisture. The whole seed has a shelf life of up to 1 year depending on storage conditions.
