About Flax flour

Flax flour is a milled flax-seed ingredient. The term identifies a flour-like ground product but does not establish whether it is made from whole seeds or from material remaining after oil extraction.

It is used in baking and other food mixtures, where it contributes a fine, meal-like texture and mild, characteristic seed flavour. Colour and fineness can vary with the seed and milling process.
