Artisan Cold-Pressed Over 50% Omega Rich Fresh Gold Flax Seed Oil USDA Organic Certified Raw Vegan Gluten Free Non-GMO Ingredients Kosher FAQs What is flaxseed? What health benefits does it provide? Flax is an ancient crop. Native to Eurasia, its first recorded use comes from Babylon about 3000 B.C. There, it was cultivated for food and used to make a fabric for clothing. (Linen comes from flax). Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician often called the father of medicine, wrote of using flaxseed for the relief of abdominal pain. Charlemagne, considered one of the greatest of all medieval kings, considered flax so healthy that he passed laws requiring its consumption. Nutrition researchers have identified several substances in flaxseed that appear to have health benefits: lignans, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. Are Foods Alive products considered Raw Food? This depends on your definition of Raw, but the short answer is yes. They also like to use the term Living Food since all of their flax crackers are soaked (which starts the seeds life process) and then dehydrated at a very low temperature to preserve the living enzymes in the flaxseed. You can take one of their crackers, break it up and put it in some dirt, water it, and watch it grow! What is the best way to consume Flaxseed? Foods Alive's flax crackers make it easy for everyone to make flaxseed a daily part of your diet! Eat them right from the bag, top them with your favorite spread, use them like croutons on your salad and so much more! Their flax oil super dressings are a delicious alternative to all of the soybean oil salad dressings on the market and an easy way to add Essential Omega-3's to your diet. What is the difference between Gold and Brown flaxseed? Nutritionally, not much. Foods Alive's reason for using golden flaxseed is taste. Golden flaxseed has a fresher and nuttier flavor, while brown flaxseed can often have a bitter flavor. How much flaxseed or flax oil should I eat? Flaxseed: Each serving of their flax crackers provides 35-40% of the recommended daily fiber intake. So three (3) servings of flax cracker will provide your body with the necessary fiber it needs. (As you add fiber to your diet, it is very important to drink plenty of fluids, since fiber draws water into the intestines.) Flax Oil: 1 - 2 tablespoons per day of pure flax oil and/or hemp oil, or 2 - 4 tablespoons of super dressing will provide you will a good amount of EFA's. Can I eat too much flaxseed? As with anything, you have to have balance. Flaxseed contains a good balance of both soluble and insoluble fiber. If you are constipated, flax helps to break down and move things along. If you are loose (diarrhea), flax helps to bulk up and ease things along. Although excessive intakes of dietary fiber or EFA's may interfere with the absorption of some medications, moderate intakes do not appear to pose a problem for healthy adults. How long will flaxseed, flax meal and flax oil last? Foods Alive's whole flaxseed and flax crackers can last at least one year at room temperature and even longer when kept cold in the refrigerator or freezer. Flax meal should be made fresh whenever possible to help ensure quality and flavor. Once ground, flax meal can be kept in the refrigerator or freezer to prolong shelf life, but generally should be used within the week. Flax oil will last around 8 months from the time of pressing and may be kept longer if fro
