Additives & Allergens
No artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives. May contain traces of nuts, sesame, mustard, gluten, or other allergens due to packing in a shared facility.

Flavour & Texture
Linseed has a mild, nutty flavour and a crunchy texture when whole. When ground, it blends easily into foods without overpowering other flavours, making it suitable for both savoury and sweet recipes.

Preparation and Usage
Can be added whole or ground to porridge, smoothies, yoghurt, cereal, or baked goods. Ground linseed can also be used as an egg substitute in vegan recipes (1 tbsp ground linseed + 3 tbsp water = 1 egg). For optimal nutrient absorption, it is recommended to grind the seeds before consumption.

Health Benefits
Linseed is high in dietary fibre, essential omega-3 fatty acids (particularly alpha-linolenic acid), and lignans—plant compounds with antioxidant properties. Regular consumption may support digestive health, heart health, and hormone balance.

Storage Instructions
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, keep in an airtight container to preserve freshness and prevent spoilage. Ground linseed should be used within a few weeks or stored in the fridge for extended freshness.
