Should you favour golden flax seed over brown?
February 11th, 2010 | by admin |There are essentially two types of whole flax seed that you can purchase via your local health food shop or as more frequently done nowadays over the World Wide Web. The flax seeds are either a golden colour or a reddish darker brown colour. The darker brown whole flax seeds are frequently less expensive because it is not bought in large quantities by food manufacturers; they aren’t keen on it as its colour makes it more difficult to blend with other foods. Therefore the cheaper option is to purchase the reddish brown flax however are there any nutritional differences between these seed types?
The common consensus is that there isn’t any significant differences between them and so as long as you don’t mind the reddish brown colour, it is better on balance to buy flax seed.
