I enjoy Garden Of Life Products in general. In addition to this product, I use 2 of their supplements.
I check the Environmental Working Group website (or app) for product authenticity in manufacturing before purchasing, to ensure no harmful ingredients and, fact check the manufacturer.
I've been using their Flax for approx a year. I purchased this product to help meet my daily Omegas. I've noticed improvements in cholesterol amongst the many other benefits. Garden of life included all the important nutrients of flax in their powder.
I add 2Tbsp of their flax to my daily smoothies. The taste is a very mild nutty flavor (as described), with no grittiness. I can barely taste this in my smoothies. Can also add to oatmeal/grain cereals, nut butters etc..
Pros: organic, cold pressed, raw Flax with Omega's 3 (3gm), 6 (1gm), 9 (1gm) and Antioxidants Lignans (98mg). Low carbs, 3gms of fiber and protein. Calcium, iron and magnesium (2 Tbsp serving). Convenient- easier than grinding flaxseeds.
Cons: None
I do refrigerate after opening to ensure freshness
