Bundle Pack – Organic Golden Flax Seed Powder + Organic Extra Virgin Golden Flaxseed Oil
Golden flax seed powder is the ground up flax seed meal after the bulk of the Omega 3 oil has been extracted. This powder is very high in fibre and is shelf stable because the oil has mostly been removed.

Description:
Golden flax seed powder is light brown in colour and has a fairly neutral smell. It is naturally gluten free and is full of essential fibre which provides bulk to your digestive system.
Flaxseed powder comprises approximately 28% total dietary fibre by weight, including both soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre can help lower blood cholesterol levels and help moderate blood sugar, while insoluble fibre moves the stool through the colon more quickly, helping bowel movements and improving laxation.
Flaxseed is one of the richest plant sources of lignans, providing up to 800 times more lignans than most other foods. Lignans are phytoestrogens – compounds that have been shown in studies of animals and in early human clinical trials to help protect against certain kinds of cancer, particularly cancers of the breast and colon, by blocking tumour formation.
Flaxseed contains about 20% protein and has an amino acid profile similar to that of soybean protein which is considered to be one of the most nutritious of the plant proteins.
Health Benefits:
- May improve cholesterol and lower triglycerides
- May lower blood pressure and reduce heart disease
- May help control blood sugar levels
- May aid weight aid loss through appetite control
- May promote regular bowel movements
- Anti-inflammatory properties
How to Use:
Add 1-2 tabelspoons of flaxseed powder to whole grain porridges or sprinkle on salads and on rolls, muffins, bagels, and breads prior to baking to give a pleasing appearance and added crunch. Flaxseed powder can also be used as flour replacements and folded into bread doughs before baking. It can also be used as egg replacer in baking by adding some water to obtain the egg like consistency.
Adding flaxseed powder to your regular smoothie or protein shake will also help with adding protein, essential fats and fibre into your diet.

Cold pressing under controlled environmental conditions
During our oil drawing process we adhere to a unique method of removing the environmental elements of heat, UV light and oxygen, to ensure that the final product delivers all those delicious flavours, textures and super nutrients that nature intended. Whilst oxygen is life giving to humans, it can wreak havoc with the stability and purity of cold pressed oils and render them useless and possibly toxic. We therefore ensure that we remove all oxygen from the environment within which the oils are drawn, thus preventing any possibility of the oils turning rancid.
Unfiltered, unrefined for the purest extra virgin oil
With such care and attention taken in the drawing of the oil, we then leave our oils unfiltered so that we capture the full value of the fat soluble lignans (antioxidants). Not only do our oils deliver high quality Essential Omega fatty acids, but they also provide much needed protection to your cells. These lignans are more dense than the oil so they will tend to settle, but you just need to swirl the container to mix them back into solution prior to consuming.
Our unrefined, unfiltered, oxygen free oils are a remedy for cell nourishment.
To finish off the process, we pack our light-sensitive oils into dark, amber glass bottles so as to further preserve the nutrients.
Our ready products are maintained and packaged to keep them fresh and pure
Finally, our finished goods are stored under cool conditions to maintain freshness before we pack them appropriately prior to delivery to you. Transport of our products encompasses further pampering as they continue to be handled under cool conditions before being refrigerated by yourself after purchase.
