Flaxseed is one of the best super-foods that you can eat. But did you know that your body cannot digest whole seeds?! You either need to grid it yourself (aint' nobody got time for dat) or buy ground seed (which is what I did). Spectrum provided me a superb, fresh product that I add to my smoothies in the morning. It give the smoothies a wonderful subtle peanut buttery taste, and I am relieved to know that I am consuming an organic product as well. I will definitely be purchasing again.
