This simple swap boosts the nutrition and moisture retention of your baked goods. Since flaxseed has binding properties, remember to slightly adjust liquids as needed for optimal texture.

Premium Gold stands apart through our proprietary True Cold Milling® process. Combined with pasteurization, this method helps preserve the flaxseed’s natural nutrients and fresh, mild flavor—without the bitter or “baked” taste often found in other products.

Of course! Please reach out to us, and we would be more than happy to help with your bulk needs.
Both flax meal and milled flaxseed originate from flaxseeds but differ in processing and nutrition. Flax meal is produced by pressing flaxseeds to remove the oil, leaving mainly fiber and protein. In contrast, milled flaxseed is ground whole flaxseed, retaining its natural oils and nutrients. As a result, milled flaxseed contains more omega-3 fatty acids and offers a richer nutritional profile.
They are one and the same. Milled flax is achieved by milling the whole flaxseed in its entirety—nothing is removed or separated. This process makes the valuable nutrients inside the seed nutritionally accessible and bioavailable to your body, while preserving the complete nutritional profile found in the whole flaxseed. Our proprietary True Cold Milling® method ensures retained nutrition and flavor in every serving.
Quality, integrity, and accessibility are at the heart of what we do. We focus on these values every day and always aim to do our best within that mindset. If you have any questions, just ask. We believe our authenticity stems from being open and honest with our customers. If you have any questions, we would love to hear from you.
