Nutritionally Dense Golden Flaxseed - One of the World’s Healthiest Foods
Our flaxseed is packed with nutrients, gluten free, 100% natural and chemical free.
First grown in 1946, and grown with chemical free farming practices, our golden flaxseed is renowned as an incredibly nutrient-rich plant containing essential fatty acids as well as 70-800 times more lignans than other plant sources.
The products are high in protein and fibre, and have proven health benefits with Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9, which are critical to health and life. The oil also contains a special plant cholesterol called Phytosterol, which has been shown in clinical studies to reduce bad cholesterol, for a healthier cardiovascular system.
Our flaxseed is high in protein and fibre, and has proven health benefits with Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9 fats critical to health and life.
Waltanna Foods Flaxseed Oil not only maintains a healthy gut but contains high levels of Omega-3 and Omega-6, both essential fatty acids that can only be obtain through our diet.
The ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 in flaxseed oil supports a healthy life and leads to reduced whole body inflammation, unlike typical Western diets where the opposite ratio can lead to increased inflammation within the body.
As our bodies can’t make essential Omega-3 fats on their own, we need to obtain them from our food. When cold pressed at low temperatures by Waltanna Foods, the flaxseed oil extracted contains up to 60% Omega-3 ALA. The oil also contains a special plant cholesterol called Phytosterol, which has been shown in clinical studies to reduce bad cholesterol, thereby leading to a healthier cardiovascular system.

Waltanna flaxseed was specifically chosen to be grown here at Waltanna Farms, due to its suitability for Australian growing conditions and the fact that it is a versatile, more palatable, and shelf-stable product to traditional dark brown flaxseed.
