Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between whole flaxseed and flaxseed meal?
Whole flaxseeds have a protective outer shell that largely passes through the digestive system intact, limiting the absorption of omega-3 ALA and other nutrients. Flaxseed meal (ground flaxseed) breaks this shell, making nutrients more bioavailable. Whole flaxseeds are best used in baking, where they add visual texture and crunch, or when they are ground at home just before use.
Are Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Whole Flaxseeds certified gluten free?
Yes, Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Whole Flaxseed is certified gluten free and processed in a dedicated gluten-free facility. Flaxseeds are naturally gluten free, and Bob’s Red Mill takes additional steps to prevent cross-contact with wheat, barley, or rye, making them appropriate for gluten-sensitive individuals and those with celiac disease.
How do I use whole flaxseeds in cooking and baking?
Whole flaxseeds can be added to bread dough, muffin batter, granola, and crackers for added texture and visual appeal. Sprinkle them over yogurt, oatmeal, or salads as a topping. For maximum nutritional benefit, grind them in a coffee grinder or blender just before use, since whole seeds are largely indigestible and their omega-3 content is not fully absorbed.
How should whole flaxseeds be stored?
Unopened Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Whole Flaxseed can be stored in a cool, dry pantry. Once opened, transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator or freezer to prevent the oils from going rancid. Whole flaxseeds keep longer than ground flaxseed meal because the outer shell protects the oils from oxidation.
