About linseed
Linseed, also known as flaxseed, is a small oilseed that has been used in food for thousands of years. It is typically used either whole or ground, depending on the application.
Whole linseed can be added directly to baking, cereals and salads, while ground linseed is often used where a finer texture or greater absorption is required. When hydrated, linseed forms a gel-like consistency, which is useful in baking and cooking.
Brown linseed is the more common variety and is widely used across both home cooking and food production. It has a mild flavour and works easily alongside other grains, seeds and flours.
About the grower
This linseed is grown and processed at Waltanna Farms, a fifth-generation family farm located near Hamilton in south-west Victoria. The farm specialises in the production of linseed, alongside a broader range of crops.
Waltanna has developed systems to grow, clean and process linseed on or near the farm. This allows them to produce whole seed, meal and oil from their own crops, maintaining a consistent Australian-grown supply.
