ldquo;Flax” refers to the plant and the fibers (flax plant, flax seeds, flax yarn), whereas “Linen” applies to products made from flax (linen fabrics, linen clothing, linen tablecloths etc.)

There is not much difference between Brown and Golden Flaxseed other than Golden Flax Seed has more of a nutty taste. Nutritionally they are very similar. Our Natural Golden Flax and Roasted Golden Flax have the same nutritional value. See similar questions...

Learn about the benefits of flaxseed and how to make the most of your diet with healthy flaxseed recipes. You can always mix whole or milled seeds into your favorite bread dough, but how about mixing it into burgers, meatloaf, and fish or vegetable patties as a tasty change. See similar questions...

We promote the whole flax seed because the whole seed offers more nutrition. Lignans and dietary fiber (soluble and insoluble) are not present in flax oil. Yet, in the seed, these are found in generous quantities. Flax oil is very unstable and prone to oxidation. Our flax seed is stabilized before it's ground to give it a six-month plus shelf life.

Both brown and yellow flaxseed provide the same nutritional benefits: lignans, dietary fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids, which together work to enhance your health and heart fitness and give protection against certain types of cancer. The yellow flax generally has a higher oil content, and may be preferred by some because of its light color. Whole flaxseeds are hard and are difficult to crack even with careful chewing.

When you rotate the stage of a petrographic microscope with crossed polarizers while looking at a flax fiber, straight lengths change from black to colored every 45?. The fiber is birefringent and has an ordered structure. Most of the cellulose of the fibers is in a crystalline structure. In structures like flax, it is called a "fibrillar" structure. McCrone ignored our agreements for work on the STURP sampling tapes: he stuck them all down to microscope slides. See similar questions...

Double damask is a fabric from another era. To maximise the production benefits of modern looms a higher warp thread count is normally used than weft thread count. This allows more cloth to be produced for less weft picks. Double damask is different from ordinary damask in that it has a lower warp thread count than weft thread count, this allows a dense high thread count fabric to be produced, as the weft yarns are beat up tight in the fabric.

Flax is very high in the omega-3 fat ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). This is the "essential" omega-3 fat because our bodies need it to be healthy. However, because our bodies don't produce it, we must consume it from other sources, like flax. Other omega-3 fats, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), found in fatty fish, are vital for health, but not "essential," because our bodies can make them from ALA.

The nutritional value of golden flax seed vs. brown flax seed are very similar if the samples are of the same quality. I mention quality because it is very important in determining the omega 3 content and overall nutritional value. A high quality flaxseed whether golden or brown will accomplish the same, although we have found most people prefer the nutty-buttery flavor of our golden flax seed over the brown flax seed.

Linen is a yarn or fabric made from the cultivated flax plant, named 'Linum usitatissimum'. It is a cellulosic plant fibre, or bast fibre, and it forms the fibrous bundles in the inner bark of the stems of the plant. The plant is an annual that grows to a height of about a metre and the fibres run the entire length of the stem and help hold it upright. The fibre strands are normally released from the cellular and woody stem tissue by a process known as retting (controlled rotting). See similar questions...

The advantage of eating flax seed over flax oil is that flaxseed is a complete food providing you with the benefits of Omega3, 6 & 9 EFA's, fiber, protein, plant lignans, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Flax oil, expelled from the flax seed, contains the EFA's but not the fiber, protein and plant lignans (an anti-cancer agent). Flaxseed contains approximately 40% oil. See similar questions...

Omega Nutrition uses both brown and golden organic flax seeds. The color of seed varies depending on climate conditions and variety of seeds. The fatty acid profile of flax seed crops can vary by 1-2 percentage points depending on weather conditions, breed of seed and soil conditions. We test each crop of flax seed to ensure an average of 54% Omega-3 and 15% Omega-6 essential fatty acid in each bottle of flax oil that we produce. See similar questions...

There are a few companies that offer organically grown flax, labeling the seeds and oils with an "organic" symbol. The "organic" symbol is a mark which is earned when companies have kept chemicals away from the crop at all times. You can expect to pay a premium for organic flax. Any flax that you buy from a reputable retailer is perfectly safe to eat, organic or not. See similar questions...
