Brown Linseed (Flaxseed) is a great source of protein necessary for tissue building and repair, which contributes the growth and maintenance of muscle mass and bone normality. Brown 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. Brown 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
Welcome to our FAQ section, where we answer the most common questions about our products and their uses. From nutritional benefits to processing tips, we aim to provide clear, practical information to help you make informed decisions—whether you’re a food manufacturer, distributor, or ingredient buyer.
Is flaxseed the same as linseeds?
Yes, flaxseed and linseed come from the same plant. “Flaxseed” is usually used when referring to human food ingredients, while “linseed” is more common for industrial or animal feed uses. Nutritionally, they are the same, and both are widely used in food manufacturing.
What is the difference between brown and golden linseed?
Brown and golden linseed come from the same plant species and offer very similar nutrition, including high fibre and omega-3 ALA. The main difference is colour and flavour. Brown linseed has a slightly stronger, nuttier taste, while golden linseed is milder and often preferred for baking or light-coloured foods. For B2B use, both perform similarly in bakery, cereals, bars, and milling applications, and the choice typically comes down to product appearance and flavour profile.
Which is better, chia seed or flaxseed?
Both are highly nutritious. Chia has slightly more fibre, while flaxseed offers more omega-3 ALA. For business applications, flaxseed is often preferred for bakery, cereals, bars, and oils, while chia is commonly used for hydration, thickening, and plant-based nutrition.
