Milled Golden Roasted Flax Seeds
What it is
This is milled flaxseed that has been gently roasted. Roasting changes the texture and flavor of the seeds, making them more approachable for some people. The milling process breaks down the tough outer shell of the flaxseed, which can help make its nutrients more accessible. Golden flaxseed has a milder flavor compared to its brown counterpart. It is a pantry staple for those looking to add plant-based goodness to their meals.
