About linseed
Linseed, also known as flaxseed, is a small oilseed used in baking and cooking. It can be used whole or ground depending on the application, with whole seeds adding texture and ground linseed used where a finer consistency is required.
Gold linseed is a lighter-coloured variety of the same plant. It behaves in the same way as brown linseed but has a milder flavour and is often used where a lighter appearance is preferred.
