Production & Sourcing

Harvesting: Once the flaxseed capsules have fully matured and turned brown, the flax plants are ready for harvest. Farmers typically use specialized machinery to cut and collect the mature plants.

Threshing: After harvesting, the flax plants are subjected to a process called threshing. Threshing involves separating the seed capsules from the rest of the plant material, such as stems and leaves. This is often done mechanically.

Winnowing: The separated seed capsules are then subjected to winnowing. Winnowing involves using air or gentle blowing to remove any remaining plant debris and lightweight materials, leaving behind the heavier flaxseeds.

Cleaning: The flaxseeds are then cleaned to remove any remaining impurities, such as small stones or debris.

Benefits

Flavor

Organic brown flaxseeds have a mild, nutty flavor with a subtle earthiness. The flavor is not overpowering, making them versatile for various culinary applications. When toasted, the nutty notes become more pronounced, adding depth to dishes.

Texture

These flaxseeds have a smooth, glossy outer shell and a tender inner kernel. When ground, they develop a slightly coarse, powdery texture that can be incorporated into recipes for added thickness or as a binding agent. The outer shell provides a delicate crunch, especially when used in baked goods or sprinkled on top of dishes.

Color

Organic brown flaxseeds have a deep brown color with a golden hue. The color comes from the outer shell and inner kernel. This rich color can add visual appeal to dishes and is often used as a decorative element in recipes.

Nutritional Value

Organic brown flaxseeds are a nutritional powerhouse. They are an excellent source of dietary fiber, both soluble and insoluble, which supports digestive health. Flaxseeds are renowned for their high content of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid that contributes to heart health and inflammation reduction. They also contain lignans, which have antioxidant properties and potential hormone-balancing effects. Flaxseeds are rich in minerals such as magnesium and manganese, and they provide a good amount of protein. However, the nutritional benefits are most pronounced when the seeds are ground, as this makes their nutrients more bioavailable.

Moisture and Binding

Organic brown flaxseeds have a moderate moisture content. When mixed with liquid, they develop a gel-like consistency due to their soluble fiber content. This property makes them an effective natural binding agent in recipes like vegan baked goods or as an egg substitute in certain dishes. The gelling ability can also be used to thicken sauces and soups.

Aromatics

While organic brown flaxseeds are not particularly aromatic on their own, toasting them can release a warm, toasty aroma with intensified nutty notes. This can enhance the overall sensory experience of dishes.

Balance and Contrast

Organic brown flaxseeds add a balanced combination of nuttiness and texture to dishes. Their subtle flavor complements both sweet and savory recipes, providing a contrasting crunch and enhancing the overall mouthfeel of dishes.

Cultural and Regional Influence

Flaxseeds have been consumed for centuries and have been used in various cultures around the world. They are an integral part of certain traditional cuisines, particularly in Northern Europe, where they have been used for their nutritional benefits and culinary versatility.

Special Dietary Considerations

Organic brown flaxseeds are popular among individuals following specific dietary patterns, such as vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets. They are a valuable source of essential nutrients for those who might not consume animal products. Additionally, flaxseeds’ omega-3 content makes them a suitable option for individuals seeking plant-based sources of these beneficial fatty acids.

Uses in manufacturing

In food manufacturing, organic brown flaxseeds are used in a variety of ways due to their nutritional profile, binding properties, and versatility. Here are some common applications:

Bakery

Flaxseeds can be added to bread, muffin, and cookie recipes to enhance the nutritional content and provide a nutty flavor. They can also be used as an egg replacer by mixing ground flaxseeds with water to create a gel-like substance that mimics the binding properties of eggs.

Cereals and Granolas

Flaxseeds can be incorporated into cereal and granola formulations to boost the fiber and omega-3 content. They add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor to these products.

Energy Bars and Snacks

Organic brown flaxseeds can be included in energy bars, trail mixes, and other snack products to increase their nutritional value and provide a source of healthy fats and fiber.

Yogurts and Smoothies

Ground flaxseeds can be added to yogurt cups and smoothie blends to enhance the texture and provide an extra nutritional boost. They can also help thicken these products due to their natural gelling properties.

Plant-Based Meats

Some plant-based meat products use flaxseeds as a binder to improve texture and hold the ingredients together, similar to their egg-replacing function in baking.

Flaxseed Oil Production

Flaxseeds are also used to extract flaxseed oil, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. This oil can be used as a dietary supplement or as an ingredient in various food products.

Dressings and Sauces

Ground flaxseeds can be added to dressings and sauces as a natural thickening agent. They can also contribute to the overall flavor profile of the dish.

Cereal Bars and Nutritional Supplements

Flaxseeds are commonly included in cereal bars and nutritional supplements to enhance their nutritional content and provide consumers with a convenient source of fiber and healthy fats.

Functional Foods

Due to their nutritional benefits, flaxseeds are often used in functional foods that aim to provide specific health benefits beyond basic nutrition.

Main producing countries and Harvest time

Russia, Kazakhstan, China and Canada are among the top producers of brown flaxseed. Usually flaxseeds are harvested around 30-35 days after flowering. The general harvest season for brown flaxseed typically falls between July and September in the Northern Hemisphere, which aligns with the warmer months of summer.
