Flax meal uk

[Cobbystock]

Has anybody found flax meal at a reasonable price in the UK?

[LessPodge]

I'd like to know that as well...or where you can get it full stop

[caramba]

Im off to the US in October- I could bring back a suitcase full and make a fortune tee hee!

Try looking for Lin seeds or lin flour.

holland and barratt sell linseed, so does sainsburys and i *think* tescos.

However I am yet to find any pre-ground flax/linseed.

[Elizellen]

I bought mine at Holland & Barrett's - 500 gr of their own brand Golden Linseed for £4.49 but they also sell another brand which is glutenfree for 50p more.

A later search for "golden linseed" UK found this page

They have 250 grams for £1.15 but postage of about £6.00 so you would have to buy a quantity to make it worth while.

and this

http://www.goodness.co.uk/goodness/buff.shtml

They have 'bulk' packs of 3 kilos of brown linseed for RRP £4.33 and golden linseed for RRP £17.98 and lower wholesale prices but I couldnt see a minimum for getting the wholesale prices - maybe you cant buy just one pack - but I havent had an email response to my enquiry yet.

[Elizellen]

Just had a reply from one enquiry.

http://www.organic-gmfree.co.uk

"We sell organic flax seed £2.75 for 500g."
"No set p/p charges - just whatever the post is - nothing added on top."
email to <bodyandsoul@organic-gmfree.co.uk>

I think I might order my next linseed from them.

Someone asked about buying linseed flour - well I read somewhere that it has a very short shelf-life once it has been ground.
It doesnt take long in a coffee grinder or the small grinding thingy that came with my food processor so it might be just as easy to grind what you need as you go - and you can then get it as fine/coarse as you want.

Re: Flax meal uk

Tescos sell a medium sized bag of "Brown Linseed" for 89p

Is this the equivalent of flax seed?

[Elizellen]

Re: Flax meal uk

Yes, Daz, the exact same stuff

You can get brown or golden linseed. I have never bought the brown but heard it tastes a bit stronger than the golden sort. The brown is usually cheaper than the golden.

Re: Flax meal uk

OK great, I picked some up today. Tastes fibrelicious! ^_^

Re: Flax meal uk

They sell the grounded up one in Hollands and Barratts for about £4.50. Cheaper to get the whole linseeds

What a rip off, the whole linseeds are only 89p for 250g at Tescos.

Lucky thing I have a coffee grinder thou
