Although the terminology differs in different areas of the world, flax, flaxseed and linseed actually refer to the same seed which comes from the Linum usitatissimum plant. Typically, the name linseed is associated with industrial purposes such as making oils for paints, varnishes, and textiles, whereas flaxseed is primarily used to describe the seeds intended for human consumption or products in the health market.

The only main difference between gold and brown flaxseed lies in their appearance and typical use. Golden linseeds are light golden/yellow in colour and tend to have a slightly milder, nuttier flavour making them a popular choice for adding to baked goods or cereals. Brown linseeds have a slightly earthier taste which some prefer in savoury dishes or wholegrain breads. Both varieties have similar nutritional profiles and can be used interchangeably for most recipes.

Waltanna Foods’ production facility is completely gluten-free and allergen-free. No gluten, nuts, or major allergens are processed on our production lines.

While wheat, oats, and other crops may occasionally be grown in certain areas of our farm, these never enter our production facility. All flaxseed and chickpeas undergo laboratory gluten testing before entering the production area to ensure no gluten is detected.

If you have any questions or concerns about any of our products or ingredients, please feel free to contact us for confirmation of their allergen status.
