Frequently Asked Questions
What is Waltanna Foods Pure Golden Organic Flaxseed Meal?
It is a 500 g bag of ground certified organic golden flaxseed, grown, processed, and packaged entirely on-site in South West Victoria. The meal is high in protein and fibre and provides Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids. Its golden colour makes it easy to blend into baked goods without visibly darkening the final product.
Is this product certified organic and gluten free?
Yes. The Golden Flaxseed Meal is certified organic and Australian grown, with gluten free status confirmed. Waltanna Farms has been certified organic since 1998 and grows its flaxseed with chemical-free practices on the basalt plains of South West Victoria.
How do I add Golden Flaxseed Meal to my diet?
Stir it into breakfast cereal or smoothies for a quick nutritional boost, or fold it into casseroles, stews, pasta sauces, and curries. It also works well in bread doughs and slice mixtures where a fine, nutritious addition is needed.
What is the difference between Waltanna Golden Flaxseed Meal and the Golden Flaxseed Flour?
Both products are golden flaxseed that has been ground, and both are 100% pure single-ingredient products. The meal and flour serve similar purposes in everyday use, though the flour may be more finely ground, making it suited to replacing a portion of flour in baking, while the meal works well as a nutritional addition to wet dishes and smoothies.
Why is golden flaxseed meal preferred over brown in some recipes?
The golden colour stays relatively inconspicuous in baked goods and lighter dishes, which is useful when you want to add the nutritional benefits of flaxseed without visible dark speckling in your finished recipe. The flavour is also milder and nuttier compared to the earthier taste of brown flaxseed.
