Organic Flaxseed Meal

"Versatility is an admirable trait, especially when it comes to food (think mango or pumpkin). On the topic of flexible foods, flax is at the top of the list. It can be spun into linen, made into linseed oil... even used to wrap and entomb mummies. While we won’t be stocking linen pants, or mummies anytime soon (maybe mummified Halloween cookies?), we are excited to carry flexible flax in the form of Trader Joe’s Organic Flaxseed Meal.

Our supplier takes great care to harvest, clean, sort, mill, and pack this Canadian flax. (You might say our standard of quality is one of the few things that remains inflexible.) Come to think of it, the ingredient list here isn’t very malleable, either. There’s only one ingredient: organic ground flaxseeds. Back to versatility: Our Flaxseed Meal easily adapts to a variety of diets. It is vegan, gluten free, kosher (pareve), and paleo friendly. And everyone will benefit from the Omega 3 content. One 2 Tbsp. serving of our Organic Flaxseed Meal contains 3000 milligrams of ALA (a-linolenic acid, essential for the human body). That’s a radical 187% of the recommended daily value for ALA!

We like to imagine this finely milled Meal at the intersection of versatility and your mouth. That’s a likely scenario with its nutty flavor that mixes so well with other foods. Put some in oatmeal, or add it to our Buttermilk Pancake Mix. It’s also great in smoothies. For a sweet, wholesome treat, you can follow the recipe on the bag to enjoy some No Bake Energy Bites."
