100% Organic, rich in ALA omega-3, a good source of fiber, clean quality whole flax seeds.
No trans fats, non-GMO, non-allergenic. Flax seed is gluten-free, low carb food. Flax (Linum usitatissimum) is a beautiful blue flowered plant grown on the plains of Central Canada and the North Central United States. Modern research has taken great interest in flaxseed. Study after study confirms that the oil and fiber components of flaxseed have wonderful health benefits.
Because I already use Flax seeds in varying ways it only seemed right to do the Tropical Traditions Flax seeds as my next Tropical Traditions review (& Giveaway, ends tonight) As all my fans know we love Tropical Traditions products, & we have not found a Tropical Traditions product that we do not like. So I find it very odd I had not already tried their brand of Flax seeds, I must have just not thought about them having flax seeds every time I needed to order flax, but trust me I wont forget again.
How do I use flax seeds?
I have a coffee & spice grinder so I can easy grind of flax seeds to add to my smoothies, protein shakes, oatmeal, salads, salad dressings, on sandwiches, in baking, gravies on & on. Using flax seeds ground or the slime is the best way to get the health benefits from them. I also use the ground up flax seeds in a poultice that works great for wounds, cuts, scratches, burns, boils, bites & stings.Poultice recipe:
- 4 tbsp of ground golden flax seeds.
- 3 tbsp of Activated charcoal.
- 5 drops of essential oil (Lavender, tea tree oil, oregano, or another that works for your need)
- 1 cup of warm distilled (or filtered) water
- Mix well & let sit up about 5 to 10 minutes & stir again, apply to area & cover with a wet cloth & cover with gauze & or plastic wrap to keep secure, leave poultice on an hour or 2 or until poultice dries, repeat if needed, store any extra of the mixture in the fridge.
Flax Slime/Flax oil:
- 2 cups of boiling water
- 2 tbsp of whole golden flax seeds
- add flax seeds to boiling water & lower heat to just simmer stirring occasionally for 7 to 10 minutes. The mixture is done when you see the glossy slime with whitish streaks. let cool, You can store in the fridge for up to 10 days, you can leave the seeds in or separate them out & just use the slime. You can also use the slime in the same foods listed above & in a poultice as well.

FACTS ABOUT FLAXSEED
- Flaxseed has a high ratio of Linolenic (Omega-3) to Linoleic (omega-6) fatty acids. While many other plant seeds contain a higher ratio of omega-6 fats, flaxseed is the one of the few seeds that contains a much higher ratio of the essential omega-3 fats.
- Flaxseed oil is one of the richest sources of OMEGA-3 fatty acid, Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) an ESSENTIAL FATTY ACID (EFA). This fatty acid is considered essential, meaning that your body cannot make it but requires it and so must derive all of it from the diet. The average American diet is lacking in this fat. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. One serving of Organic Whole Flaxseed provides 9 grms of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids.
- Golden Flaxseed is unique in that 48% of its total fat content is omega-3 fatty acids.
- Flaxseed contains very high amounts of DIETARY FIBER, both SOLUBLE and INSOLUBLE. Golden Flaxseed is 28%-35% fiber, 1/3 of which is soluble, and the other 2/3 insoluble. Soluble fiber also plays an important role in maintaining the “good bacteria” in our bowel, like Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Bifidobacteria. Insoluble fiber increases the bulk of stools.
- Flaxseed is an outstanding source of many essential nutrients, including: proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, folate, vitamin B-6, pantothenic acid, magnesium, potassium, iron, thiamine, copper, zinc, calcium and phosphorus.
