Forms you can buy flax seed in.
February 4th, 2010 | by admin |So you are looking to buy flax seed but wondering what choice you have regarding the different forms you can buy it in. Well firstly the best value is found if you buy flax seeds in their whole form. They have the longest shelf life and the least processed and so cheaper. You just need to decide whether you want to buy the slightly more expensive reddish brown flax seeds or the golden colored ones; there isn’t seemingly any difference in their nutritional benefits. Then you can buy flax seed meal (a.k.a. ground flax) which is more expensive, has a shorter shelf life but offers the most convenience. Finally you can buy flax seed oil. This form of flax has a long shelf life but has not got the same nutritional value as ground flax seed.
