Golden flaxseed has similar nutritional benefits to brown flaxseed. Because of its color, golden flaxseed is easier to hide in recipes. If your children are not willing to include flaxseed in their diet, you can easily add golden flaxseed, whole or ground, to bread, muffins, cakes, cookies, cookies, granola, cereal, oatmeal without them knowing it. The gold color is not detected in these foods. It is a low-carbohydrate food and is an excellent choice for diabetics and those who need to limit the amount of sugars in their diet. Sesame seeds come second in lignan content and contain 1/7th of the lignans of flaxseeds. In the Mediterranean diet, several recipes rich in omega-3 fatty acids add flaxseed oil.
