Stan the Man Reviews: Flax SeedThese are brown flax seeds and the quality, when compared to the brown flax seeds from my local health food store, seem to be excellent. Just judging by the in-dusty appearance of the seeds they are new and gresh and should last awhile if kept dry.Be sure you need a lot of flax seed if you order these. The bag was quite huge--far larger than I had visualized but, then again, the price is good and you can always help feed the birds in winter.Previously, I had ordered two pounds of flax seeds and these were golden flax seeds. I had never even known there was such a thing and my wife was only convinced that they were flax seeds when I researched them online.Golden flax seeds are perfectly fine though I prefer the taste of the brown slightly. The Canadian flax seed website says that the brown seeds check out better nutrition wise but the difference is all of about one percent which could be a pure statistical fluke depending on a lot of variables like the growing season that year where the seeds were produced, etc. Even if you did a multi year study from multiple locations a one percent breakdown would not be statistically balid. This does bring you to your free biology lesson for the day, however.Lesson: We well assume that the original color of flax seeds was most like brown. It follows that plant breeders either created the golden variety or found mutant plants created by nature. The golden color is attractive and seems not to be narmful though it could have been harmful had nature somehow produced a plant toxin that also imparted a golden color.Science created something called, I believe, Golden Rice, by genetic manipulation. They took two genes from beef which produced proteins that are essentially in steaks though this does really make the rice meat. It made the rice a source of better or complete nutrition and evidently China et al jumped on it like a duck on a June bug. The anti GMO people, of course, were screaming blue hell.The steak proteins somehow seems to have made the rice golden. Some genetic transformation either made golden flax seeds brown or brown golden. All the varieties of apples came basically from one or two basic types and represent DNA manipulation by plant breeders. There are, for instance, no real orange carrots. Carrots were originally white, yellow, red, beiged and even purplish I believe but the clever Dutch, to honor the House or Orange, created our orange carrots by, you guessed it, manipulating the genetics of yellow and red carrots.Rice, if fed abundantly to test animals like rats over several generation, can easily and fairly quickly be tested as to safety. Rice itself is somewhat unsafe, I have heard, due to natural arsenic levels. On top of all this, Vegans et all, seem to have no compunctions whatsoever about consuming soy milk or almod milk or weird herbs that are and have not been regularly consumed by humans down through the ages. There is no quarantee that any food we eat is absolutely safe. Parsnips are really bad and stay away from star fruit. End of lesson.Back to flax seed. This, and the golden ones I sent for, are A-Okay but you had surely better want a pile of them. Me, like an idiot, would have sent for a twenty five pound sack had not the shipping jumped the price up too high. Then my dear lady wife would have clobbered me.Enjor.5... hair gel with these flax seeds and they work wonderfully.I make hair gel with these flax seeds and they work wonderfully.5It works for meI got this flax seed to loosen me up. It does a good job. But the rest of the story is important too. I use it in cold cereal, pour it into warm milk with butter and Splenda for hot cereal, mix it in with cottage cheese and diced fruit for a great snack, and even sprinkle it onto my scrambled eggs then fold the eggs into an omelet. It works as a homemade soup thickener too.5Best organic ground flaxseed meal everMe and my wife consume 2 tbsp of organic ground golden flaxseed meal (every morning before breakfast) for the past 20 years - every morning mixed with 8 oz of apple juice/water mix. Approx 3 years ago we discovered the Food to Live brand to be so easy to mix and swallow, and so effective. At late 60 s our intestines are close to perfect, as well as our cholesterol levels. Just fantastic! Highly recommended5Not originalThe nutrition lable is not printed its a paper.1Great To Put In Oatmeal With No Off FlavorI add about 2 tbsp of ground flaxseed along with some fresh fruit to my oatmeal every morning and you can barely tell a difference if I forget to add it. Maybe a slight "bready" flavor but there are tons of fiber as well as beneficial vitamins in them. Would recommend!5Used on KETO - Purchased Multiple TimesYa'll - I had a baby and gained like 75lbs. I decided to do KETO to lose the baby weight - I wanted a shake that I could make for my mornings so I found a recipe and flaxseed was an ingredient. I researched/searched and found this - I ordered it and used this pretty much daily for 4-5 months (repurchasing as needed). I lost all the baby weight (not specifically because of this product but it was helpful to my diet).Pros: easy packaging, no difficulty getting to the flaxseed - not a bad taste, pretty bland - blends easily (I used it in a single serve blender with several other ingredients) - easily added to food - high in Omega 3FatsCons: the biggest con, is that it can be a little gritty - I still absolutely loved using this product and will use again but even when blended, it is a bit gritty in a shake.Did you find this review helpful? Let me know!4Awful taste. Dark brown and green seeds.Assuming I got a bad batch. Many dark seeds and green seeds in the batch. Decided to try them anyway. That was a mistake. Ruined my cereal. They taste awful! I m so disappointed. I love flax seeds, but not these. Wasted money.1Great taste - I use both the whole and ground ...Great taste - I use both the whole and ground flaxseeds fro Food to Live and am very happy with the quality and integrity of their products. I will continue to use this company's products and plan to order some different items, as well. Delivery was speedy, packaging appropriate and follow-up was great. I highly recommend this product and this company.5Chemical odor and tasteChemical odor and taste. I do not recommend buying these flax seeds. I opened the package and immediately there was a chemical odor similar to paint. I should have put it in the trash right away, but it's about the $ money. I used about a teaspoon in my morning smoothie twice, the flax seeds totally changed the flavor of my smoothie and left a paint aftertaste for about an hour after I drank only half of my smoothie. Come to find out this product is NOT returnable! Don't waste your hard earned money.1
