There are many different kinds of flaxseed, grown in different parts of the world and each one has a different color and production criteria. They are: Dark brown flax, easily grown and abundant in most of the Northern States. This flax along with the light brown and red flax is what is mainly used for linseed oil and fabric. It is lower in omega oil and fiber.

There is a hybrid seed that was created by South Dakota and North Dakota State Universities about 15 years or so ago. The research was coming out about the wonderful benefits of lignans and omega 3 & 6 oils of  flaxseed, and flax was rapidly gaining in popularity. These two Universities thus created the golden seed to provide that maximum of these qualities.

However, the golden flaxseed has a more stringent growing criteria that involve the right amount of nitrogen in the soil, right soil itself, and specific weather conditions. Not to cold, wet, dry or hot! If these conditions are not available, the seed is inferior and lacking in oil, fiber and lignans. There is organic flax, which is grown on certified fields with no nitrogen (fertilizer) in the soil or Nitrogen fed. The Nitrogen gives the plant oxygen thus starving out weeds and providing for a higher quality/quantity of oil and fiber. The best and only way to really tell if you have a good  golden flaxseed is to test it yourself.

This is what you test for.

  •  Is it shiny? The flaxseed should be shiny and very oily on the surface of the seed. Our flaxseed is between 48-53% oil. About 9 grams of oil per 1/4 cup!
  • Are they plump seeds? Our seeds are large and plump, not small and flat. A flat small seed usually means very little fiber content as well as low lignans.
  • How does it taste? Is it a sweet nutty flavor or bitter? Does it smell moldy? When you chew it, our flax will be crunchy then chewy. A good flaxseed with plenty of fiber and oil will start crunchy, and then be gummy. If it is just crunchy that means the seed is basically hollow.

So what about the flax found in Health food stores that is golden in bulk? Many times the flaxseed that is turned down by packaging companies is then sold to a broker for bulk sales. It does not make it bad, just inferior. Blue Chip Group, Inc. makes sure that the flax we package is as clean as humanly possible.  We lose a lot of our seed to the cleaning process, but believe it is worth it. Blue Chip Group's Golden Flaxseed is a superior product and thus offers superior results.

THE OIL OF FLAXSEED

Flaxseed oil is the richest source of the omega 3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid. This fatty acid is considered essential, meaning your body cannot make it but requires it and so must derive all of it from the diet. The average American diet is sorely lacking in

 
this healing fat. Golden Flaxseed is unique in that 48% of it's total fat content is omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids are necessary for proper infant growth and development, especially important in the formation of a healthy nervous system, and to help keep that nervous system functioning properly.

It has been shown to be useful in the treatment of multiple sclerosis, behavioral problems such as attention deficit disorder, depression, and bipolar disorder in adults and children. Omega 3 fats are also important in modifying the body's inflammatory response, making them very helpful in the treatment of inflammatory diseases like allergies, asthma, arthritis and eczema. Studies have shown that omega 3 fats can lower blood pressure, "bad" cholesterol, and triglycerides by as much as 25% and 65%. It's impact on the number one killer in our country, heart disease, might be it's most exciting health benefit.

Flax (Linum usitatissimum) is a beautiful blue flowered plant grown on the plains of Central Canada and the North Central United States. Medical research has taken great interest in flaxseed. Study after study confirms that the oil and fiber components of the flaxseed are wonderfully health promoting and are curative for many disease states.

THE MANY BENEFTIS OF FLAXSEED

Golden Flaxseed promotes the general well being of the body and is very beneficial for treatment of a variety of health problems. Following is a suggested DAILY intake of the Golden Flaxseed that needs to
 
be ground fresh with a coffee grinder directly before it is consumed.

The MAXIMUM health promoting benefits are obtained by consuming this FRESH GROUND FLAXSEED in the amount of 2 tablespoons seed (measure before grinding), morning and evening. Immediately stir the Flaxseed into 8-12 ounces of water or juice. Keep stirring as you drink the mixture, for the Flaxseed settles quickly. If you have chronic illness, like Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and Bad Cholesterol, Hormone Imbalances, Diverticulosis or Diverticulitis, Chronic Constipation, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, do the above 1/2 hour before meals. Start slowly with smaller amounts of the mixture until your body gets used to the high fiber. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER ALL DAY and WALK EVERY DAY. ADDITIONALLY AND NOT IN PLACE OF THE ABOVE , ground up Golden Flaxseed is wonderful in baked goods, yogurt, puddings, soups, stews, cereals, pancakes, etc.

Finely ground Flaxseed gently cleanses out any wrinkles and pouches that trap bacteria in the G.I. tract, and it lubricates the whole intestinal system. Those with insomnia will find that Flaxseed will stabilize blood sugars for a more restful sleep. TO PROMOTE WEIGHT STABILIZATION, Flax acts as a bulking agent and swells 3-4 times it's size when ingested. Take 2-3 tablespoons ground flax stirred into 10-12 oz. of juice or water 30-40 minutes before meals.

FLAXSEED FIBERS AND LIGNANS

Golden Flaxseed is 28%-35% fiber, 1/3 of which is soluble, and the other 2/3 insoluble. Soluble fiber has shown to lower cholesterol and regulate blood sugars, thereby helping with both heart disease and diabetes. Soluble fiber also plays an important role in maintaining the "good bacteria" in our bowel, like Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Bifidobacteria.

 

Soluble fiber is also soothing to an irritated bowel. Insoluble fiber increases the bulk of stools and prevents constipation, both of which play a role in the prevention of colon cancer.

Lignans are an exciting type of insoluble fiber that act as phytoestrogens. Lignans have been shown to help relieve the symptoms of menopause, as well as having anti-cancer, antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. It is the anti-cancer effects of Lignans that have received the most research attention lately. Breast and prostate cancers are most affected by lignan activity. Lignans have the ability to act like hormones and interfere with excessive hormonal production, excess hormonal binding to receptors and even the transportation of excess hormone in the blood.
