Great-Tasting Flaxseeds
from Heintzman Farms

Do you choke down brown flaxseed just for the health benefits? Or take a spoonful of flaxseed oil chased with a glass of water? Then you’ve got to try this great-tasting alternative! Heintzman Farms’ Dakota Flax Gold is a plump, golden flaxseed variety with all the nutritional benefits – and a surprisingly mild, nutty flavor. Try it toasted, or in muffins, pancakes, granolas, and more. Flaxseed is the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids and lignans (plant hormones related to the isoflavones in soy). Recent medical studies have found whole ground flaxseed to be helpful in preventing and treating illnesses ranging from Type 2 diabetes to hormone imbalances and even certain cancers.
