Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'whole ground' mean for flaxseed meal?
'Whole ground' means the entire flaxseed — including the outer shell (where most lignans are found) — is ground into meal. Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal retains the full nutritional profile of the whole flaxseed, including omega-3 ALA, soluble and insoluble fiber, and antioxidant lignans, in an easily digestible ground form.
Is Bob's Red Mill Organic Flaxseed Meal USDA certified organic?
Yes, Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal is USDA certified organic, made from organically grown flaxseeds without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The USDA Organic seal is displayed on the package, confirming it meets National Organic Program standards.
How is organic flaxseed meal different from regular flaxseed meal?
The nutritional profiles of organic and conventional flaxseed meal are comparable, but organic flaxseeds are grown without synthetic herbicides, pesticides, or fertilizers. Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal uses USDA certified organic flaxseeds for consumers who prioritize organic sourcing. Both are finely ground for optimal nutrient absorption.
How much flaxseed meal should I eat per day?
Most nutrition guidance suggests 1–2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed meal per day as a dietary supplement. This amount provides meaningful omega-3 ALA and fiber without overconsumption. Start with 1 tablespoon and increase gradually if your diet is not already high in fiber, as sudden increases in fiber intake can cause digestive discomfort.
