Flaxseed And Linseed
Linseed and flaxseed are two names for one seed: small, nutty and remarkably dense in fibre, plant omega-3 (ALA) and lignans — around 24–31g fibre per 100g depending on the variety. Our range covers whole and milled, brown and golden, organic and everyday, from 250g pouches to 25kg trade sacks.

Flaxseed and linseed — same seed, every form
Find the right linseed
- The classic: Organic Brown Linseed — earthy and robust, the daily-tablespoon staple.
- The milder one: Organic Golden Linseed — sweeter and paler, made for bread and family porridge.
- Ready-milled: Organic Ground Linseed — grinding unlocks the seed, and it makes the flax eggs vegan bakers rely on (1 tbsp + 3 tbsp water per egg). Also RAWGORILLA's milled flaxseeds in a premium 1kg bag.
- The everyday price: Brown Linseed — same seed without the organic certificate.
- By the bag: Stock & Prep 1.5kg value packs — organic golden, organic brown and natural brown.
- As an oil: cold-pressed organic flaxseed oil — around 50g omega-3 ALA per 100g, always used cold.
How to use linseed
Grind whole seeds or chew them well — the tough shell otherwise passes through undigested. Start with a teaspoon a day and build to one or two tablespoons, spread through the day with plenty of fluids. Store whole seeds cool and dry; keep milled linseed airtight and refrigerated once opened.
