It is one of the few carrier oils with contains high levels of omega 3, alpha-linolenic acid.
Linseed protein and fibre content have functional health benefits. Protein is an essential nutrient for muscle and bone growth, maintenance, and repair. Linseed contains non-soluble dietary fibre, supporting gut health.
Linseed is the richest source of phytoestrogens (lignans). The main lignan is SDG varies, which studies have linked to a variety of health benefits. It is also reported to contain major phenolic compounds including phenolic acids, including ferulic acid, chlorogenic acid and gallic acid, as well as flavonoids and lignans ferulic acid.
Product Applications
Golden Linseed for Oil Extraction
Golden Linseed is commonly used for oil extraction, where the seed is pressed to release only the oil. Golden Linseed Oil is used as a liquid as a supplement or as an ingredient within health products or pet foods. Alternatively, it can also be encapsulated into a soft gel capsule as a dietary supplement.
Golden Linseed as a Food Ingredient
Golden Linseed is a versatile ingredient, providing enhancing nutrition, taste, and texture to any recipe. It is popular in breakfast cereals, including granola or oats, and bakery items including breads, biscuits, and protein bars.
Ground Golden Linseed may also be used in these applications. Ground Linseed is created by crushing and milling the whole Linseed into smaller particles, giving you all the benefits of Linseed, but making it easier to digest and add to food recipes.
