Hi folks! I'm Bob Moore, founder of Bob's Red Mill. I started milling grains over forty
years ago, and from the beginning I have been grinding flaxseed into meal. Back then, I
ground flaxseeds on a funny little hand mill that clamped onto the table—you may have
one like it at home! I first learned about the many benefits of these miracle seeds in
this book, Health Builder, published in 1957. It was written by J.I. Rodale, the founder
of Prevention Magazine, and he was far ahead of his time in understanding the importance
of whole foods for health. In this book, Rodale wrote that flaxseeds are a good source of
unsaturated fats, which are an essential part of a healthy diet. That was all I needed to
hear—I decided to start adding flaxseed meal to my 5, 7 and 10 grain cereals as a
nutrition-booster, and I haven't stopped since! Flaxseeds are one of the world's greatest
repositories of vital and important nutrients for our bodies. We make Bob's Red Mill Golden
Flaxseed Meal from the whole seed—nothing is removed—so all those wonderful nutrients
go right into each package. Pick up a bag next time you're at the grocery store and
read about all the nourishing gifts our flaxseed meal offers: omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants,
and best of all—fiber. Why is the fiber so important? Because studies suggest that
the fiber in flaxseed meal can help to lower the harmful LDL cholesterol without diminishing
the good HDL cholesterol. And of course, fiber improves regularity, too.
As part of your everyday diet, our Golden Flaxseed Meal is simply the best! It enhances
everything, whether you sprinkle it on top of oatmeal, add it to smoothies, or use it
in baked goods. Virtually any dish can be improved with ground flaxseed.
You can find Bob's Red Mill Golden Flaxseed Meal everywhere—at your favorite supermarket
or natural foods store, at Costco, and online at Amazon, Vitacost and bobsredmill.com. From
all of us at Bob's Red Mill—"To Your Good Health!"
