More about out Ground Flaxseed

Ground Linseed also has high levels of dietary fibre both soluble and insoluble which contributes to regular laxation. In addition, the oil component provides the Essential Fatty Acid (EFA) Alpha Linolenic Acid (Omega 3). We cannot produce EFA’s ourselves, and therefore they need to be an essential part of our daily diet, making it an ideal functional food ingredient.  Ground Linseed provides nutrients that will ensure optimum health and wellbeing for the whole family, and it can easily be incorporated into the daily diet. health and wellbeing for the whole family, and it can easily be incorporated into the daily diet.

Frequently asked questions

Ground Flaxseed FAQ's

Welcome to our FAQ section, where we answer common questions about our oils and superfoods, including applications, product options, packaging formats, quality considerations and bulk supply. Whether you're a food manufacturer, distributor, importer or ingredient buyer, our goal is to provide practical information to support informed sourcing decisions.

Is it better to use ground flaxseed or whole flaxseed?

Ground flaxseed is easier to digest and absorb, while whole flaxseed provides slow-release fibre but may pass through the body undigested. Both are nutritious and suited to different uses. Many food brands buy bulk ground flaxseed or whole flaxseed depending on their product needs.

Does grinding flax seeds destroy nutrients?

Grinding flaxseeds doesn’t destroy nutrients, but it does expose oils to air, so freshness matters. Ground flaxseed should be stored in an airtight container. A good manufacturer produces freshly milled, bulk ground flaxseed for consistent nutritional quality in retail and functional foods.

Is ground flaxseed the same as ground linseed?

Ground flaxseed and ground linseed are commonly used to describe the same milled seed ingredient. In New Zealand, linseed is a common term, while flaxseed is often used in consumer, export and ingredient markets.

Do you supply bulk ground flaxseed in New Zealand?

Yes. Midlands supplies New Zealand-grown ground flaxseed in bulk 25kg sacks for commercial buyers, including food manufacturers, ingredient buyers, repackers, cafés and wellness brands.

Can I buy organic ground flaxseed from Midlands?

Organic ground brown linseed may be available on request, depending on product availability, certification requirements and order volume. Contact our team to discuss current organic supply options.

What packaging formats are available for ground flaxseed?

Our standard commercial format is bulk 25kg sacks. Pallet quantities are available for regular production, export orders or larger supply programmes. Minimum order quantities apply.

Is ground flaxseed better than whole flaxseed for food manufacturing?

Ground flaxseed is often preferred when manufacturers need a smoother texture, better blendability and easier incorporation into cereals, smoothies, baked goods, bars and dry mixes. Whole flaxseed may be preferred where visible seed texture is required.

What is ground flaxseed used for?

Ground flaxseed is commonly used in baking mixes, cereals, smoothies, nutrition bars, functional foods, retail ingredient packs and selected pet nutrition products.

How should bulk ground flaxseed be stored?

Ground flaxseed should be stored in cool, dry conditions and protected from moisture, heat and oxygen exposure. For commercial orders, Midlands can provide product-specific storage and handling guidance.

Does Midlands supply ground flaxseed for export?
