Organic Golden Linseed

Golden linseed has a very similar nutritional profile to brown flaxseed, with minor variations depending on variety and growing conditions. It is an excellent source of plant-based omega-3s (ALA), fibre, and lignans.

Per 100g (whole seeds)

•  Calories: 470–534 kcal (typically ~480–500 kcal)

•  Protein: 18–22g

•  Total Fat: 36–42g

•  Saturated fat: ~3–4g

•  Monounsaturated fat: ~7–8g

•  Polyunsaturated fat: ~28–29g

•  Omega-3 (ALA): ~20–23g (very high)

•  Total Carbohydrates: 7–29g (varies by measurement; many carbs are fibre)

•  Dietary Fibre: 27–28g (high in both soluble and insoluble)

•  Sugars: ~1–2g (naturally low)

Key micronutrients (per 100g, approximate):

•  Magnesium: ~390mg (high)

•  Phosphorus: ~640mg

•  Iron: ~5.7mg

•  Zinc, copper, manganese: good sources

•  Lignans: high (antioxidant phytoestrogens)

•  Vitamin B1 (thiamin), B6, and others.

Common Serving Sizes

1 tablespoon whole seeds (~10g):

•  Calories: 50–55 kcal

•  Protein: ~1.9g

•  Fat: ~4.3g (including ~2.3g ALA omega-3)

•  Fibre: ~2.8g

2 tablespoons (~20g):

•  Calories: ~100–110 kcal

•  Fibre: ~5–6g

•  Omega-3 ALA: ~4–4.5g (excellent daily boost)

Note: Grinding the seeds (freshly milled) improves nutrient absorption, especially for omega-3s and lignans, but slightly changes calorie density in some ground products (often listed around 450–470 kcal/100g due to processing).

Why Golden Linseed Stands Out

•  Milder, nuttier taste compared to brown — easier to add to smoothies, yoghurt, baking, or porridge.

•  Rich in plant-based omega-3s (supports heart and brain health).

•  High fibre for digestion and satiety.

•  Natural lignans for antioxidant and hormonal support.

Daily suggestion: 1–2 tablespoons (10–20g) per day is common for benefits. Start with 1 tbsp and increase gradually to avoid digestive discomfort from the high fibre. Drink plenty of water.
