This is great stuff! I did research on the benefits of flaxseed and with some reservations, decided to give flaxseed a try. I am beyond thrilled I gave it a try. I have been grinding it and mixing it in my protein shakes. Not only is it filling (very high in fiber and protein), but it tastes great! In addition to thickening my shakes, it gives them a nutty flavor. And the best part is I am no longer constipated! I am looking forward to broadening my use of flaxseed. Those looking to improve their health and diet must give flaxseed a try. Remember to keep it refrigerated for its nature is sensitive to rancidity.

Until recently a local health & nutrition store carried Bob's Red Mill products, no one else has it. I was thrilled to find it on Amazon, and even happier when I saw the price. It is much less expensive to order through Amazon, and even fresher than buying in a store.

All of Bob's Red Mill products are of high quality and very fresh. An excellent company to buy organic products from!

This is the second time I have ordered this product. It came well packaged and all I had to do is put it in the freezer. The price is good and so is the flaxseed.

This product arrived in a beautiful carton. The seeds are very fresh and so well packaged. I toasted them as per directions and they are delicious.

Order was processed and fulfilled in a timely manner.
Product arrived in factory packaged box of 4.
I just eat a few handfuls of these a day. You should chew them up completely in order to access all the nutritiion. Whole seeds are not broken down in your digestion system. Others may think otherwise but once chewed I liken them to the taste of pecans. They feel like they would be good for you when you eat them too.

I'm hooked on this stuff!

I keep some ground in the fridge alongside the whole seed... dump it on any kind of cereal for a fiber/omega infusion.

I've added it to so many recipes, from banana bread to mac n'cheese, you'd think I was nuts!

As it turns out, I find the addition to be mild/complementary enough that you can get away adding flax to so many things.
Salad or cereal are obvious choices but it is a pleasant mellow addition to pasta sauces, mac n'cheese, cookie recipes, you name it.

And it works!

My buddy didn't believe me until he added it to his morning oats... he had been having some intestinal issues, let's just say, and now he's as regular as an atomic clock haha.

Sort of showing off, I took a handful of seed and popped 'em in my mouth, and started munching away. I thought I might regret it but they were great! Easily satisfy any craving for a nutty snack and there's something satisfying about grinding the seed in your mouth... I know, I can be extreme. But these are just so PLEASANT.

And you get a whole lot for cheap... try Prime and Subscribe and Save (you can always cancel) and you get a lot for a little.

I was going to give some away as gifts but they kind of make you want to horde them.

Easiest fiber infusion ever.

Have fun.

I used to buy flax seeds in a local store in bulk, they were really cheap (a little more than 1$/lb) but I could not find any organic ones anywhere for less than 4$/lb.
Bob's Red Mill Organic flax seeds are really fresh, they do not smell rancid (like I happened sometimes with those bought from the local store), they come in 4 packages so you can easily freeze 3 of them. And are organic, which is important to me.
Also, they are convenient as a price. I did the math and they cost 2.81$/lb (2.38$/lb if you use the "subscribe and save", like I did). This is a great price for organic flax seeds. If you buy them from the official Bob's Red Mill website, they cost a lot more, it is about 25$ for these 3 packages.
To grind them, I recommend the Cuisinart SG-10 Electric Spice-and-Nut Grinder. That's what I use and works great.

Product is great.
With that said, make sure and check your local supermarket price for this item first. I have become so accustomed to getting deals on Amazon that sometimes I don't even compare costs. Winds up that the regular price for one package of this item at my local supermarket is $2.99. Could have gotten a bag for free and had money left over had I just checked while I was doing my regular shopping.
Like Costco, Amazon doesn't always wind up saving you money.

this flaxseed is excellent. if you have used flaxseed before, you will tell the difference. and the great thing is i am finding more ways to use it, along with bob's red mill soy lecithin. great in cereals, smoothies, salads, and be creative. taste is mild and slightly nutty, so don't be afraid to use it. the health benefits are phenomenal. (i suggest the soy lecithin from bob's, too). thanks amazon.. because you carry so many of bob's red mill products, i signed up for prime. happy, healthy new year.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT! BOB'S RED MILL BRAND IS THE BEST! I'VE BOUGHT FLAXSEED FROM OTHER SUPPLIERS AND HAVE BOUGHT THEM FROM WELL KNOWN HEALTH FOOD STORES ONLY TO BITE INTO WHAT SEEMS LIKE PIECES OF DIRT GATHERED ALONG WITH THE SEED. ? I NEVER HAVE THAT PROBLEM WHEN I PURCHASE THIS BRAND. GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY.
