Milled Brown Linseed is produced by milling the small linseeds to form a coarse flour. Linseed (also known as flaxseed) is best grown in the cooler, moist climate found in countries like Canada, China, and Russia. Linseed is a rich source of protein, fibre and many other nutrients such as iron and calcium. In ancient times, linseed was cultivated for its fibre which was used as a textile, but linseed is now also grown for its nutritious seeds.
