The catch

Ground flax oxidizes and goes rancid faster than whole seed, so the bag needs to be refrigerated after opening and used within its one year shelf life. (source)

The honest take

This is about as simple as pantry staples get, one ingredient: whole golden flaxseed, ground into a fine meal. A 2 tablespoon serving is 70 calories with 5g fat, 3g fiber, 0g sugar, and 0mg sodium, plus roughly 1,800mg of plant based omega 3 (ALA), which makes it an easy way to add fiber and healthy fat to oats, smoothies, or baking. A health minded shopper reaches for it because there is nothing to scrutinize on the label, no sweeteners, no salt, no seed oils, no additives. The main reason to pass is if you want a big fiber number, since 3g per serving is decent but not dramatic.
