What is the difference between the reddish-brown flax seed and golden or yellow flax seed?
The seeds that are most common are reddish-brown in color, but a second variety is yellow or golden. The color makes little difference when it comes to taste or nutritional value: both offer similar levels of the nutrients that make flax such a great addition to your daily diet. Some companies selling golden flaxseed claim that it is superior nutritionally by containing more omega-3 fats or lignans. To verify these claims, a copy of the lab analysis would need to be obtained.
