“Light nutty flavor that is great in oatmeal, smoothies, pancakes and waffles.”
Unfortunately Trader Joe’s recently seems to have discontinued their Whole Roasted Flax Seeds – a good product, I found- and replaced it with this version which is ORGANIC GROUND FLAXSEED MEAL. This is a bit of a bummer as I preferred to have WHOLE flax seeds I could grind myself fresh, to a meal already ground up. We have a second coffee grinder which is for grinding up things besides coffee, like seeds and spices. I would grind up the whole flax seeds in the morning just before using them. Which is ideal as they contain oils which are best fresh. If I can find them elsewhere I may find another whole flax seed. I think Whole Foods might sell them. For the time being, I got this version that Trader Joe’s switched to and use them for mixing into my Kefir, and smoothies and or adding into baked goods or pancakes. I even found this Flaxseed Meal in a little section at TJ’s labled “Smoothies” – with those related smoothy ingredients. “Unfortunately Trader Joe’s recently seems to have discontinued their Whole Roasted Flax Seeds – a good product, I found- and replaced it with this version which is ORGANIC GROUND FLAXSEED MEAL.

Refrigerate after opening to keep as fresh as possible, maybe even in the freezer is best. $3.99.

We much prefer whole non-roasted flax seeds that we grind as needed (to insure max freshness and nutrition) for our good-health smoothies.
These are not “desert” smoothies – – they’re pure “healthful” smoothies. Pre-ground seeds loose nutrient value and freshness quicker. Check-out the following before you get to the “check-out” line with less than desirable healthful food : ]

Just bought bulk flax seed at Fairway. Of course I bought other things there instead of Trader Joe’s since I was there. Bring backs the flax (seeds)!
