Frequently Asked Questions
What are the health benefits of flaxseed meal?
Bob's Red Mill Premium Flaxseed Meal is rich in omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), dietary fiber (both soluble and insoluble), and lignans — plant compounds with antioxidant properties. Ground flaxseed is easier for the body to digest and absorb than whole flaxseeds, allowing better access to its nutrients.
How do I add flaxseed meal to my diet?
Bob's Red Mill Flaxseed Meal can be stirred into oatmeal, smoothies, yogurt, or cereal for a daily omega-3 boost. In baking, add 1–2 tablespoons per recipe to muffins, breads, or pancakes without significantly altering flavor or texture. Flaxseed meal can also substitute for eggs in vegan baking: mix 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons water and let stand 5 minutes to form a flax egg.
What is the difference between flaxseed meal and whole flaxseeds?
Whole flaxseeds pass through the digestive system largely intact, limiting nutrient absorption. Ground flaxseed meal breaks down the outer shell, making omega-3 ALA, lignans, and fiber readily available for the body to absorb. Bob's Red Mill Premium Flaxseed Meal is finely ground for maximum nutritional benefit.
Should flaxseed meal be refrigerated after opening?
Yes, once opened, Bob's Red Mill Flaxseed Meal is best stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator or freezer to prevent the omega-3 fats from oxidizing (going rancid). Unopened packages can be stored in a cool, dry pantry. Use within 30–90 days after opening for best flavor and nutritional quality.
