I'm so glad to have found this product on Amazon. I have been using flax seed for 12 years. I was grinding my own in a coffee grinder. Then I found Spectrum Cold Milled Organic Ground Premium Flaxseed. I sprinkle a tablespoon full on my morning oatmeal every day. When I make smoothies, I add a tablespoon or two to my blender. My husband has recently started adding flaxseed to his oatmeal because he takes pain meds which are constipating. Flaxseeds help with constipation as they provide an excellent source of fiber. Flaxseeds can be added to many foods. They have a very slight nutty flavor if you taste it out of the bag. Personally, I cannot taste them at all when I add them to food. I love the convenience of having my flaxseeds ready to add to my food without having to drag out the grinder and clean it afterward. I keep my flaxseed in the freezer and use it directly from there. Omega3 oils are prone to becoming rancid and should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer once opened. I love the fact that these flaxseeds are organic. I also love that these flaxseeds are cold milled, which means they are not exposed to heat which would promote rancidity and destroy the nutritive value. I have read grinding your own flaxseeds subject the seeds to more heat than seeds which are commercially cold milled.I should add that my HDL cholesterol is double the norm. HDL is the good cholesterol. Most people average 40. My HDL is 86. Flaxseeds are the highest vegetarian source of Omega3 essential fatty acids and are attributed to many health benefits including heart health, diabetes, cancer, inflammation, pms, menopause and constipation. Amazon is offering this product at an excellent price. It is a staple in my house and I plan to order this on a regular basis.

Although the picture for this product shows it to be WHOLE flaxseed, it is as the description states - - GROUND flaxseed. I use this every morning and every evening (1T each time) and I have noticed a positive change in my body since I've been using it. Buy it here in the 4-pack because at the grocery or health food store, it's $7 - $9 per package and through Amazon, it works out to just over $5 per package and since I'm a Prime member, I received free shipping (and no tax) also. Great deal!

I used to buy this item from Whole Foods for about $8 a pouch. I am so happy that I find it on amazon for much cheaper price with subscribtion and of course a free shipping . I use 2 tablespoon for my morning shakes.
P.S. If you are a busy person like me who does not have time for making salads every day, just add a handful of spinach or kale, any vegetable you want in your morning shake, and trust me you will not even taste the vegetable.

good flaxseed
the reason for only 3 stars is because i like the flaxseed but the bags won't close. I have to use a cloth pin to close the bag because the zipper on the bag didn't line up.

Tastes great!
I mix it into my breakfast foods and smoothies. The fact that it's ground makes it easy to slip into foods.
