Frequently Asked Questions
Does Bob's Red Mill Organic Golden Flaxseed Meal contain allergens?
Flaxseed meal does not itself contain the major allergens, but Bob's Red Mill mills a range of grains and seeds in its facilities. Read the printed ingredient and allergen panel on the bag for the current facility notice before using it if you have a food allergy, since notices can change between production runs.
How should I store Bob's Red Mill Organic Golden Flaxseed Meal?
Once opened, move the meal into a sealed, airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator or freezer, since ground flax oxidizes faster than whole seed. Aim to use it within about 30 to 90 days of opening for the best flavor and nutrition. The unopened bag is fine in a cool, dry pantry until then.
What is the difference between golden and brown (Premium) flaxseed meal?
Golden flaxseed has a milder, subtler flavor than brown flaxseed, so this meal blends into recipes with less nutty taste than the Premium Flaxseed Meal. Both are ground fine with similar fiber and omega-3 content per the printed nutrition panel. Choose golden to keep the meal in the background of a recipe, or brown for a more noticeable flavor.
Where is Bob's Red Mill Organic Golden Flaxseed Meal made?
Bob's Red Mill grinds this organic golden flaxseed meal at its facility in Milwaukie, Oregon, where the company has operated since 1978. It is packaged and shipped domestically, not imported, to Real Prime Deals customers across the US and Canada.
