About This Product

Linseed Omega-3 Seed

Linseed (Linum usitatissimum), also called flaxseed, is the richest plant-based source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential Omega-3 fatty acid — with ALA comprising approximately 55% of the total oil (38%+ of seed weight). India is among the world's top linseed producers, with Madhya Pradesh being the primary growing state.

PAX Herbal supplies both brown linseed (the more common type, slightly nuttier flavour) and golden linseed (lighter colour, milder flavour — preferred for visible food applications like baked goods and cereals). Both are machine-cleaned and gravity-sorted. Certified organic options are available. Cold-pressed linseed oil (high ALA) is available as a separate product.

Common Questions

Buyer FAQs

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is an essential Omega-3 fatty acid found in plant sources — the body must convert it to EPA and DHA, though this conversion is limited. Linseed is the most concentrated plant-based ALA source. It is the preferred Omega-3 for vegetarian and vegan consumers and is widely used in plant-based supplement formulations.
Brown linseed is the more common variety — slightly stronger, nuttier flavour, darker appearance. Golden linseed has a lighter, cream-yellow colour and milder, more delicate flavour — preferred for food products where colour and mild taste are important (white bread, dairy products, cereals). Nutritional profile is essentially identical.
Ground linseed (flaxmeal) is available as a separate product. Ground linseed is more digestible than whole seeds and is used in baking, smoothies and functional food. Please contact us for flaxmeal specifications and availability.
MOQ is 1 metric ton. Sample quantities available for laboratory testing.
