Description
Manitoba Milling Company is a women owned business that provides milled golden Canadian flaxseed, that is easily added to your favorite cereal, granola, or baking. This product contains one 454 gram (1 pound) bag.
Our golden flax seeds are grown on our farm on the vast Canadian prairies where our family has been growing high quality, nutritious grains for over a century. The cool, pristine growing conditions in this area produces 80% of all flaxseed grown in North America. We cultivate all natural, premium seeds that are expertly milled to produce a finely-milled grain that retains nutritional value and stays fresh.
Our flaxseed is non-GMO project verified and gluten free. Manitoba Milling Company whole-milled flax seed contains 100% of the nutritional components of flax including the fiber, lignans, protein and ALA Omega 3. We do not sell the byproduct of the oil pressing process, which is commonly referred to as flaxseed meal or golden flaxseed meal. Flaxseed meal does not contain all of the nutritional value of whole-milled flaxseed as the oil has been removed, leaving it lacking in the highly nutritious ALA Omega 3.
The ALA Omega 3 found in whole-milled flaxseed has been the subject of many nutritional research studies, which have shown numerous ways in which flaxseed helps consumers stay healthy. ALA Omega 3 along with many other nutritional components found in flaxseed including dietary fiber, lignans, protein, vitamins, calcium, and iron have been shown to support heart and bone health, help maintain normal cholesterol and blood pressure levels, support men’s and women’s specific health concerns, and support normal cognition.
Our golden whole-milled Canadian flaxseed goes through rigorous quality testing where only healthy, mature, plump seeds are selected. Any diseased, discolored, broken, or immature seeds are removed from our process and discarded as they can contribute to oxidation, rancidity, and overall poor taste and quality.
