The catch

Whole seeds go through you mostly undigested unless you grind them, so plan on a grinder or the pre ground meal to actually get the 1,800mg of omega 3 per 2 tablespoons. (source)

The honest take

Golden flaxseed is about as clean as a pantry staple gets, one organic ingredient with 0g of sugar and 0mg of sodium per 2 tablespoon serving. That same scoop delivers roughly 1,800mg of plant based omega 3 (ALA) plus about 3g of fiber, which is why health minded shoppers keep it around for smoothies, oatmeal and baking. The real snag is that whole seeds pass through you mostly intact, so you have to grind them to actually absorb the omega 3 and lignans they are famous for.

Who it's for

✓ Buy it if

Anyone who wants a cheap whole food source of plant based omega 3 and fiber to stir into smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal or baking.

✕ Skip it if

Skip it if you will not grind the seeds first, since whole flax passes through largely undigested and you lose most of the benefit.
