Makes delicious Keto Pancakes!

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2019

Coupled this with Walden Farms Pancake Syrup, it makes for delicious pancakes.

It turned out so good, here's my made-from-scratch recipe:
1 egg, 4oz almond flour, 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed, 1/4th tablespoon Hershey's cocoa powder, 2oz water, 1 tablespoon erythritol , 1/2 tablespoon shredded coconut, pinch baking powder, half a drop imitation rum. Mix it all together with a whisk in a bowl, then pour some into a hot pan and make some pancakes!

This recipe made 4 relatively small pancakes. If you're cooking for 2 people, just double it and you can make some larger pancakes.

Strange strings...?

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2019

I’ve used flaxseed meal for years from a couple of sellers and never had a problem, but since they were out of stock I ordered from this one. The product package contains the seed meal, as well as many strands of something that resemble fibrous string, which I have to pull out one by one. Won’t purchase this product again.

Great flavor, great packaging, good enough price

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2019

This is the second time we've bought this Premium Gold brand after switching from Bob's Red Mill. We really like the flax seed for putting in everything--on cereal, in smoothies, and always in breads or other baked goods. It adds a nice nutty flavor, extra fiber and hard-to-get omega 3 fatty acids (say "fatty acid" at your next cocktail party!).
I'm really impressed with the quality of the bag--we don't have to transfer it to another container, which is time-saver. The whole family enjoys or at least gotten used to the flavor, so this magic little bag is a very handy wait to add nutrition to our day without much fuss.
Note: this is GROUND flax seed, which is what you want for nutrition. Your body doesn't digest the whole seeds very well, even if they do look nice sprinkled on top of your bread. Ground flax seeds go bad a lot faster than the whole seeds, so if you can't use up the ground stuff very quickly, buy the whole seeds and grind as needed.

Add Flaxseed to your Morning Shake

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

My breakfast every morning is an Almond Milk fruit smoothie shake fortified with plant based protein powder, peanut powder, chia seeds and ground flaxseed. All the protein and fiber you need for half a day. Two bananas make it extremely smooth. In the past two years I have lost 70 pounds by changing my lifestyle to "Vegan with Benefits." This product has been a key part of that diet. Premium Gold Organic Ground Flaxseed is priced right and a fruit smoothie fortified with it is a great way to start your day.

A very good option for GROUND flax seeds

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

I should have read the product description more carefully because I never buy pre-ground flax seeds. No matter what anyone says, the quality of flax seeds begin to deteriorate after grinding removes the protective outside shell; they should be ground right before using/eating. Also, this bag is huge, and I keep it in my refrigerator because it's going to take quite some time to use it all, and refrigeration will prolong the benefits. Seems like a very good/excellent product, but I'm disappointed that I overlooked the word "Ground" in the product description. Yes, it's in the (very long) title, but It certainly was not emphasized in the description.

Great deal!

I couldn't believe the price of this when I saw it on Amazon - I've been having trouble finding golden flax seed meal at my grocery store, let alone in organic. When I do, it's nowhere near this price per pound. I was leery of the quality of it, but ordered it anyway. I opened it right away upon receiving it, and it is fantastic! Have already made two "minute muffins" with it and they turned out great.

I'm trying to get back on the low carb wagon (kicking and screaming, I'll admit...I do love my pasta and potatoes...too much.) This is going to help me get back on track without breaking the bank.

This bag is HUGE. Great price for organic non gmo flax meal. It says it needs no refrigeration needed but I put it in the fridge anyway because the bag is so big. I put a spoonful in my smoothie and it's a great way to get fiber and it's good for menopause symptoms. Will buy this again.

This was the first time I've bought this brand flaxseed. This will now be the only brand I use. There was an immediate recognition of taste, smell, and quality difference. I am more than satisfied and willing to continue business with this company. It is evident that they pride themselves in providing top-shelf, quality products. Give them a try. I highly doubt you'll be disappointed. Thank you for caring to provide quality products and customer service.

Very Fresh & Flavorful, Plus Organic , Which Is Critical With Flaxseed- Non GMO, too

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

This flaxseed is USDA Organic (not fake organic) and it's Non-GMO. There are no pesticides, fillers nor additives. It's 100% pure flaxseed.

Pesticide Free Organic is critical for flaxseed. Flaxseed is quite adept at picking up any pesticide, not only damaging your body, but also changing the flavor. Try some non-organic and you will immediately taste the petroleum flavor of pesticides.

This stuff is truly pesticide free. Also note that it is USDA organic. It is not a fake Organic statement, which is allowed in many states here in the U.S. Please note, too, that one of the great benefits of flaxseed is the amount of lignans- a powerful anti-oxidant. Certain pesticides mutate the lignans into free radicals. That's what anti-oxidants fight. Another benefit of flaxseed are the Omega 3, 6 & 9's. Pesticides certainly wreck these.

It is cold milled so we get to enjoy the healthy oils and all of the flavor. Nothing's wrecked with cold milling. It's vegan, gluten free & it is peanut free., If you keep to the Pareve dietary laws, it's compliant.

The flavor is phenomenal and it is obviously fresh. Flaxseed is something I grew up eating in everything. (My mother's family has owned a flax farm in Italy for dozens & dozens of generations, so flaxseed eating is a family habit. I'm kind of picky about flaxseed.) Premium Gold more than satisfies my tastes.

This flaxseed retains the characteristic delicate nutty flavor with no fear of nut allergy problems. Many commercial flaxseeds lose the flavor & are boring. I really like Premium Gold brand.

You can use flaxseed to make delicious pasta, add flavor to boring polenta, to add to flour in breads, to substitute for eggs and oil in baked goods, sprinkle on tomato soup, and more. I put it on salads, mix in chocolate rice milk, put on fruit- well, just about anything. When I was a kid, I remember my siblings sprinkling it on ice cream & mixing it in milk shakes. A real favorite of mine is natural peanut butter on organic whole grain bread with flaxseed sprinkled on top. Or, try dipping fresh cut, raw broccoli florets in flaxseed.

Also note that if you happen to use psyllium for digestion help, flaxseed is great & better than psyllium. Simply mix it in water or sneak it into your other foods & beverages during the day. Be sure to drink plenty of water if you use a lot. In my experience, it works far, far better for IBS than psyllium, too- I'm symptom free with flaxseed & peppermint oil. Also note that if you do use psyllium, it is something else that should be organic & never be cut with maltodextrin, as some manufacturers do.

This flaxseed is from one farm, not brokered out. This way there is accountability to the organic, non-GMO, Pareve and nut-free statements. In other words, it's safe. The farm is a family owned business that's been around a long time. I think they also do the milling & packaging. The product is well packaged for long-term freshness & is resealable. (I do keep the extra in the freezer. that's just my quirk.)

Try some. You may like it & find lots of uses for it!

Top Quality Flaxseed and Best Deal I Could Find on Amazon

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

This stuff is great! I mix mine in smoothies and yogurt. It changes the texture of the yogurt but I actually kinda like it. You can barely taste it in either situation, and the taste isn't a bad taste, just not something you would eat with a spoon out of the bag kind of thing.

Most importantly, I can actually tell in my skin complexion and my hair's silkiness after just a few days of using this. I've used other good brands in the past and got the same results so I'm not saying this is unique but it's the best flaxseed for the price that I could find on here so 5 Stars!

The ONLY complaint I could make is that it sticks to everything, the blender container, my smoothie shakers, a spoon with yogurt and sometimes the roof of your mouth. But it's not that big of a deal just a quick scrub and it comes off. It's benefits far outweigh the little effort you need when cleaning.
