Surface water is water found over the land surface in streams, ponds, marshes, lakes or other fresh (not salty) sources. Ground water is water occurring in the zone of saturation in an aquifer or soil. Other than the location, one of the primary differences between surface and ground water is that ground water moves much slower than surface water.

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...

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.

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.

This really is the most commonly asked question from customers from coast to coast. Our sprouted grain breads, bagels, buns, pizzas, and tortillas are truly unique in that they are made with "Sprouted Whole Wheat" as opposed to flour. Most bakeries get up in the morning, open up a bag of flour and make something. At Alvarado Street Bakery, our process is quite a bit different. See similar questions...

In a “ground set” there is minimal excavating done to allow for the construction of the prepared pad onto which the home is placed and blocked. In most cases this is a concrete slab. The bottom of the frame is then set to allow for a crawl space area in the case of repairs and to assist in ventilation. Site conditions, such as high water tables etc., may require a ground set. In most cases this type of home placement is less expensive than a “pit set”. See similar questions...

Ozone is a gas that is formed in the atmosphere when three atoms of oxygen are combined. Ozone gas is not directly emitted into the air. There are chemical compounds, called precursors, which are emitted from both natural sources and human activities that react together to form ozone. These reactions are driven by light energy from the sun. Ozone is both a good and bad thing. 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...

Anything capable of growing can be sprouted and eaten, but you must be careful not to use seeds treated with pesticides for use in gardening. They are POISON. Usually, (but not always) a pink dye has been added to treated seeds as a warning. If you're shopping for seeds and they are not labeled, ask before you buy! Seeds in a health food store would always be safe for sprouting, but seeds from a gardening or feed store should be checked out carefully. 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...
