FLAX SEED FLAKE – Foodgrade / Organic
What is Flax Seed Flake
When you want only the best for your horse.
GIDDY-UP Flax Seed Flake is produced from either certified organic or conventional linseed (Linum usitatissimum) after the oil has been extracted by cold pressing (also known as de-fatted seed). It is a highly nutritious product available in whole flake form.
The linseed is grown in the rich, fertile soils of the Central South Island of New Zealand, in the shadows of the beautiful Southern Alps. Flax Seed Fibre has many benefits of whole linseed but with a slightly different nutritional profile. With much of the oil extracted from the seeds, the flakes have a high concentration of dietary fibre and protein, and less fat and calories than an equal volume of whole seeds.
