Product Description

Flaxseed flour is produced by cold-pressing brown flaxseed to extract part of the oil, then milling the press cake to a fine powder. The process is entirely mechanical — no hexane or chemical solvents are used — which preserves the natural lignan content and allows clean-label positioning.

The flour retains significant ALA omega-3 (from the residual oil), dietary fibre including soluble mucilage, and a protein content of 25–35% depending on pressing intensity. This combination of functional ingredients makes it a valuable addition to bread, crackers, gluten-free formulations, protein bars, and smoothie powder blends.

Flaxseed flour adds moisture-binding properties to baked goods due to its mucilage content, which can partially substitute eggs in vegan formulations (1 tbsp flour + 3 tbsp water = 1 egg equivalent). We can supply varying residual oil levels — contact us to specify your preferred specification.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Flaxseed contains naturally occurring cyanogenic glycosides (linamarin, linustatin). Heat processing reduces these significantly. For food applications, we recommend reviewing applicable regulatory limits (e.g., EFSA guidance). Third-party testing for HCN levels is available on request.
Flaxseed flour is naturally gluten-free. Our facility processes multiple seed types, so cross-contact cannot be excluded without dedicated allergen testing. Contact us if gluten-free certification is a specific requirement.
Our standard is 8-15% residual oil. Higher or lower levels can be achieved by adjusting the pressing cycle. Please specify at inquiry stage.
