Its called Flax Seed Meal... I got mine at Farm Fresh in the Organic section.... -
Re: Where in the world do I find flax meal??
You can also buy Flax Seed - generally found in the natural foods section or the baking isle at the grocery store. I use a coffee bean grinder and I grind my flax seed into meal myself. It's quite a bit cheaper to do it that way.
I also use that grinder to grind almonds into almond meal. Best $10 I ever spent.

I bought my flaxseed meal at Walmart in the same aisle as flour and baking products. It's a Hodgson's Mill brand.
Good luck!

Re: Where in the world do I find flax meal??
If you have any stores that have "Bulk Bins", they will usually sell the flax seed whole. I buy it 5 lbs at a time, and I too grind it with a coffee grinder. It's a whole lot cheaper that way (I normally pay about $1 a pound), plus the ground flax tends to go rancid faster than the whole seeds.MAY 2010 Challenges

I bought a "flax seed powder" at Walmart in the vitamin area ~ pls tell me this is the same thing (it is not really powdery, it looks like meal).

Re: Where in the world do I find flax meal??
I bought a big bucket of golden flax seed from a local food co-op. It was less than half the price of getting it in bulk at Wild Oats. Like Brook, I use a little coffee mill and grind some up every morning, stir it into water and drink it. If you don't grind it too much it doesn't get a chance to be slimey. Sure, I could make muffins like I used to, but I don't seem to have the time anymore, and I'm going to be cutting out fat since I can't lose weight like I did before.
The golden flax is milder and better tasting than the dark stuff. Have fun and good luck!Christine
