What’s inside every 16 oz bag
Organic Certification & Cold-Milling Process
Our Great Value Organic Ground Flax Seed meets strict USDA Organic standards, meaning the flaxseed is grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms. We work with certified organic farms that prioritize soil health and sustainable farming practices.
The cold-milling process we use is critical to preserving the nutritional integrity of flaxseed. Unlike high-heat processing that can damage delicate omega-3 fatty acids, our low-temperature grinding keeps the seed’s natural oils stable and bioavailable. This method ensures you receive the full spectrum of nutrients in every serving, including approximately 600mg of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) omega-3s per two-tablespoon portion.
Nutritional Benefits & Daily Use
Each two-tablespoon serving of our organic ground flax seed provides substantial nutritional value. You’ll get approximately 600mg of omega-3 ALA fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. The 4 grams of dietary fiber per serving aids digestive wellness and helps you feel satisfied longer.
With 3 grams of plant-based protein per serving, our ground flax seed is an excellent addition to vegetarian and vegan diets. It’s also rich in lignans, plant compounds with antioxidant properties that may support overall wellness.
Storage & Freshness Guidelines
To maintain the quality and nutritional potency of your Great Value Organic Ground Flax Seed, proper storage is essential. Ground flaxseed contains natural oils that can oxidize when exposed to heat, light, or air for extended periods.
After opening, we recommend storing the resealable bag in your refrigerator or freezer. Refrigeration extends freshness for up to four months, while freezer storage can preserve quality for up to eight months. Always press out excess air before resealing the bag.

Questions About Great Value Organic Ground Flax Seed
Each two-tablespoon serving of our organic ground flax seed provides approximately 600mg of omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). This amount represents a significant portion of the recommended daily intake of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-3 ALA supports heart health, brain function, and helps reduce inflammation throughout the body. We preserve these delicate fatty acids through our cold-milling process, which prevents heat damage that can occur with high-temperature grinding methods.

In the refrigerator, ground flax stays fresh for up to four months. In the freezer, it maintains quality for up to eight months.

Ground flax won’t freeze solid, so you can scoop out what you need directly from the freezer.
Yes, our ground flax seed works excellently as an egg replacer in most baking recipes. To replace one egg, mix one tablespoon of ground flax with three tablespoons of water and let it sit for five minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency.
This flax “egg” provides binding properties similar to chicken eggs and works well in muffins, pancakes, quick breads, cookies, and brownies. It adds moisture and a subtle nutty flavor. This substitution is especially popular in vegan baking and for people with egg allergies. For best results, use flax eggs in recipes that call for one to three eggs maximum.

The organic certification ensures you’re getting pure flaxseed without artificial additives or chemical residues. Our commitment to organic standards reflects our dedication to providing wholesome, natural nutrition for your family.

If you use two tablespoons daily in your morning routine, one bag will last about a month. Many customers use one tablespoon per day, which extends the supply to two months. The resealable bag helps maintain freshness throughout this period, especially when stored properly in the refrigerator or freezer after opening.
Our Great Value Organic Ground Flax Seed has a mild, slightly nutty flavor that most people find pleasant and subtle. The taste is gentle enough that it doesn’t overpower other ingredients, making it easy to add to both sweet and savory dishes.
In smoothies, oatmeal, and yogurt, you’ll barely notice the flavor while still getting all the nutritional benefits. In baking, it adds a subtle nuttiness that complements whole grain recipes nicely.
