Organic Golden Flaxseed, Linseed High Fiber, High in Protein, Omega-3s, Non-GMO, 100% Natural, Vegan, No Additives or Preservatives, Raw, Superfood – Thames Organic 500g

I purchased this on recommendation from my ophthalmologist to help my extreme dry eyes. I don’t really know if this flaxseed alone has been beneficial but I’m happy to continue. Previously I’d purchased milled golden flaxseed which can be too small and flaky. I found the milled versions turned to mush in cereal etc, which doesn’t happen to this. The unmilled version is nicely crunchy with a nutty taste. I add it to cereal, yoghurts, stir fries, casseroles etc. The extra benefit is the high fibre content. I’d definitely buy again and a little goes a long way!

Nice flax seeds, good size packetValue for money

Have been ordering this specific brand for twp months now. This is good quality golden flax seed, I use this to make my morning smoothies - and everything is perfectly fine.Also it's a pretty good deal, 500g can last me for over a month of daily smoothies.

I like to sprinkle this on top of my salads and soups although I have read that it really needs to be ground to get the goodness out of it. Saying that, the flavour is subtle as it is which I quite like.

I've enjoyed them whole, lightly sprinkled on my overnight oats, but whole flaxseed is harder to digest and therefore less nutritous than when it's milled - so I either grind them or simply add them to a blender smoothie. A small amount ground down can also be a wholesome addition when baking bread. I would only grind when needed, as ground flaxseed can oxidise and go rancid more quickly than whole flaxseed. A bit on the pricey side, though they are good quality.

The organic golden flaxseed from Thames Organic Store is a fantastic addition to my daily diet. Unlike the milled flaxseed I previously purchased, which can be too small and flaky, these whole seeds are perfect for soaking overnight. I like to mix them in a blender with other seeds and add them to my morning porridge. This routine not only enhances the texture and flavour of my breakfast but also ensures I start my day with a nutritious boost.Flaxseeds are known for their high fibre content, which has been particularly beneficial for my digestive health. They help regulate my stool, making my mornings much more comfortable. Additionally, the pack offers a good amount for the price, especially compared to what you typically find in shops. Overall, Thames Organic Store's golden flaxseeds are a great value and a versatile, healthy addition to any diet.

On the sales page, it says the country of origin is Ukraine, but the packet clearly shows they are from Kazakhstan, which casts doubt on any other claims.I eat flaxseeds every morning on porridge for breakfast and prefer the golden ones like these over the brown ones. I would say the taste is fine, but nothing special. The price is average, though organic flaxseeds of the same weight can be found for less on Amazon.
