Frequently Asked Questions
What is Waltanna Foods Pure Golden Organic Rolled Flaxseed?
It is a 400 g bag of certified organic golden flaxseed that has been processed through a unique rolling method on custom-built machinery at the farm. Rolling breaks the seed's outer shell to release nutrients without grinding, which preserves the natural flavour and the nutritional integrity of the oil membrane inside.
Why is rolling flaxseed better than grinding it?
Waltanna's rolling process uses custom-built machinery to open the seed without the heat and friction involved in grinding. This approach helps maintain the maximum nutritional goodness from the oil membrane within the seed.
Is the Rolled Flaxseed certified organic and gluten free?
Yes to both. It is Australian grown, certified organic, and gluten free. The seeds are grown with chemical-free farming practices at the Waltanna Farms property in Hamilton, Victoria, and contain Omega 3, 6, and 9 as well as being high in protein and fibre.
How do I use Rolled Flaxseed in my daily meals?
Add it to breakfast cereal, smoothies, or yoghurt, or stir it into casseroles, stews, pasta sauces, and curries. You can also fold it into bread doughs, protein ball mixtures, or slice recipes. It has a mild, nutty character that suits both sweet and savoury applications.
How does the Rolled Flaxseed compare to the Waltanna Golden Flaxseed Meal?
Both are golden flaxseed products, but the rolled version is processed by cracking the whole seed rather than grinding it into a powder. This keeps more of the oil membrane intact. The meal has a finer, flour-like texture that disperses more evenly into batters and smoothies, while the rolled seed gives a slightly more textured result.
