Foods Alive offers the cleanest and best tasting organic golden flax seed on the market. We receive samples from several certified organic flax farmers and make each sample into both our crackers and cold pressed flax oil. Then after careful consideration, we choose the best one!

Flax is a safe and natural way to help regulate your system. Studies have shown that the average person contains 5 to 25 pounds of waste build up in their colon. This "build up" leads to bacteria and toxins that contaminate your system causing common sicknesses and diseases. Approximately 90% of all disease and discomfort is related to an unclean colon. Internal cleansing is essential for a healthy, active lifestyle, especially in this fast paced, fast food society that we now live in.

Flax seed helps to flush your system of all the built up waste your body has accumulated.

Read on to find out how this little seed will make a BIG difference in your health and lifestyle!!

Flaxseeds are a great source of so many of the enzymes and nutrients your body needs, including protein, vitamins, phytonutrients, lignans, and fiber.
By eating flax, you will help to promote normal cholesterol levels, your digestion should improve, and you should generally feel better.
Flaxseeds are 35% oil and 55% of that oil includes the crucial omega fatty acids. Remember, both omega-3 and omega-6 are essential oils that should be included in your diet to promote good heart health.
The lignans found in flax are also low-glycemic carbohydrates. Therefore, they slow the absorption of sugar in the intestinal tract, so flax helps to promote normal blood sugar levels as well.
All in all, flax has three powerful health benefits: the EFA's your body needs for a healthy heart, a high amount of body-cleansing fiber, and the all-important lignans.
Remember it is very important to chew the flaxseeds, if the seeds are not crushed, they will pass through your system intact and you will lose some of the important health benefits!!

Qualities

Alcohol Free ▸ x No natural or added alcohol means the product won’t dry out hands, hair, or anything in between. Did you know? Alcohol in consumer products like shampoo and face wash can dry out and otherwise irritate skin. Alcohol can be found in mouthwashes and hand sanitizers where it is meant to kill germs, including the ones that cause bad breath. The alcohol content in certain products is so high it can cause someone to fail a breathalyzer test if ingested.	Live Food ▸ x Enzymes are destroyed when food is cooked. Living food retains these and has higher enzyme levels than raw food as it’s typically sprouted or very fresh. Did you know? It’s generally accepted that a live food means it can only be heated to 105 degrees. If food is heated over this temperature, live foodists deem the enzymes in it destroyed, and no longer consider it live. Proponents of the live food diet say benefits to eating this way include increased nutrients and energy. They also praise its detoxifying ways.
BPA Free ▸ x The product and/or its packaging is said not to contain the chemical bisphenol-A, which has been linked in various studies to endocrine system disruption, cancer, diabetes, and other conditions. Did you know? Some joke that BPA should stand for Big Profit Accumulation—eight billion pounds are manufactured annually and $700,000 worth is sold every hour! Thanks to all the BPA in consumer products and the environment, 93% of Americans have this chemical floating around in their bodies. People aren’t the only thing BPA is polluting. Because it’s used in thermal sales receipt paper (you know, the shiny stuff), most recycled paper is also contaminated.	Low Glycemic ▸ x Foods that minimally affect blood glucose levels. Consuming low glycemic foods can be beneficial for your health by lowering your blood pressure level and minimizing spikes in your blood sugar level.
Caffeine Free ▸ x Caffeine, a stimulant that fights fatigue, is a drug. And it can be addictive. But you probably already knew that. Did you know? Caffeine can be found in a variety of products, most commonly coffee, tea, soda, and chocolate. If you’re interested in going off caffeine, it’s best to wean slowly to avoid headaches. You can decrease the amount of coffee you drink daily, or you can switch to a low-caffeine tea, like white tea, and progress from there.	Made in the USA ▸ x The item has been produced or manufactured in the United States. Did you know? U.S. labor tends to be more expensive than labor elsewhere, so companies have outsourced their work in droves. The outsourcing of work means there are less manufacturing facilities stateside than there once were. Made in the USA has therefore become a point of pride, and not only in the auto industry. Labor conditions overseas—depending on the country—are often less safe than they are here in the USA, putting workers at risk. Many workers outside the U.S. aren’t paid living wages. Some countries present both slave and child labor concerns.
Casein Free ▸ x Contains no casein, potentially allergenic proteins found in milk and dairy foods as well as products containing casein-based binders, emulsifiers, or stabilizers. Did you know? Casein is a protein found in milk. It shows up in various products from cheese to plastic to paint. Casein is one of two proteins found in cow’s milk that can trigger an allergy. Some people are allergic to it, others are allergic to whey. Still others are allergic to both. Vegans looking for cosmetics read labels to avoid casein, which is decidedly not vegan.	Natural ▸ x Though natural has no government or official definition, we value the word. Greatly. To us it means purer, safer, from the earth. And that's not marketing hype, we promise. Our sellers do, too.
CFC Free ▸ x The product does not contain chlorofluorocarbon, a chemical that is harmful to the environment. And if it’s harmful to the environment, it’s probably not great for you. So why use it? Did you know? Chlorofluorocarbons aka CFCs were first introduced in consumer products as refrigerants, propellants (think aerosol sprays), and certain solvents in the late 1800s. CFCs were commonly used because they are unreactive in the lower atmosphere. Unfortunately they’re extremely reactive in the upper atmosphere and breakdown the ozone layer. According to the EPA, concern about the ozone layer in the 1970s led several countries to ban the use of CFCs as aerosol propellants, including the U.S. But they were—and are—still used elsewhere and in other applications.	No Added Sugar or Sweeteners ▸ x Product may contain sugars naturally present in ingredients like fruit including apple sauce, but no additional sweeteners have been added. Did you know? There are many reasons for avoiding added sugar and sweeteners, including disease like diabetes. People who prefer to avoid processed sugars and are able to medically tolerate natural sweeteners can choose things like honey, maple syrup, and agave nectar.
Chlorine Free ▸ x No chlorine or chlorine-based chemicals like sodium hypochlorite are in the product.	No Artificial Ingredients ▸ x Products that are guaranteed to be completely natural with no synthetic ingredients. If you can’t pronounce it, it’s not going in here. It’s that simple. Think about it, people 100 years ago didn’t eat highly processed foods with chemicals in them. Neither should you.
Compostable ▸ x Ingredients or packaging able to naturally biodegrade into the simplest possible molecules in a reasonable length of time and under conditions commonly found in home or commercial compost systems. Did you know? Though many products are labeled compostable these days, that doesn’t mean they’ll actually compost. Compostable items need access to air, light, water, and microbes to break down. These aren’t readily available in most overstuffed landfills. Beyond food scraps, things like tea bags, newspapers, lint, hair and nail clippings, and even some diapers are technically compostable. There are many different ways to compost—from a pile in the yard to a box full of worms (aka vermicomposting). The EPA states that organic materials like food scraps and yard trimmings are the largest component of our trash and solid waste. Composting is a great way to minimize what’s in our landfills!	Organic ▸ x Products produced fully or primarily without employment of chemically formulated fertilizers, growth stimulants, antibiotics, or pesticides. Better for the planet? Yup. Better for you? You bet.
Corn Free ▸ x Drive across America and you’ll see a lot of corn fields. Look at these products and you know what you won’t see? Corn. Like any. That’s because these products do not contain corn or any ingredient derived from corn.	Peanut Free ▸ x Product contains no peanuts and is produced in a facility that that does not process peanuts in order to prevent cross-contamination. Did you know? Peanut allergies are on the rise. About 1 to 1.5 percent of the U.S. population is currently allergic to peanuts. These allergies range from mild to life threatening. Due to the prevalence and severity of peanut allergies, many schools and even airlines have become peanut-free. If you love PB&J; but need to avoid the P, the market has responded. Alternatives to peanut butter now abound and include almond, cashew, soy, and even sunflower seed butters.
Dairy Free ▸ x Did you know? There are many reasons people choose to eliminate dairy from their diets, including lactose intolerance. An estimated 75 percent of the world is lactose intolerant. Dairy is often considered the only way to get sufficient calcium, but this isn’t the case. There are many non-dairy sources of calcium, including dark leafy green vegetables, seafood, certain nuts, and some beans. Some sources claim that countries with the lowest dairy intake have the lowest rates of osteoporosis.	Pesticide Free ▸ x No synthetic insecticides, herbicides, fungicides or rodenticides. Did you know? Unlike USDA organic, which has set rules about synthetic pesticide use, pesticide-free isn’t a third party certifiable claim. Not every producer can afford to get certified by the USDA so pesticide-free is an unregulated claim you sometimes see on small batch products. Pesticides can harm both humans and the environment—as well as the pests they’re meant to poison. There are health effects associated with specific pesticides and they contribute to water and soil pollution. Pests can develop resistance to pesticides. When this happens, more and more are employed. This is referred to as the “pesticide treadmill.”
Diabetic-Friendly ▸ x Being diabetic means carefully watching your diet. The last thing you need is to get sick or have a negative reaction. We care about you, so we have a selection of products that are not only delicious, but also appropriate for your diet. Did you know? Diabetes affects an estimated 8.3 percent of the U.S. population. The disease is characterized by a lack of—or resistance to—insulin. This results in high blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes is associated with obesity. Recent studies show it progresses more quickly in children and is also harder to treat than in adults.	Petroleum Free ▸ x No ingredients derived from petroleum or petrochemicals. Did you know? Petroleum is used to make lipsticks shine, cream smooth, and to create a barrier on skin, among other things. When reading labels in an effort to avoid petroleum in your personal care products, don’t look for the word petroleum. It’s rarely listed this way. Keep an eye out for paraffin wax, mineral oil, petrolatum, and propylene glycol. Many scents and fragrances are also petroleum-derived. Proponents of avoiding petroleum in personal care products say it disrupts the way the body naturally detoxifies by not letting the skin breathe. Some say it also slows cell renewal rate and ages skin.
Dye and Color-Additive Free ▸ x No synthetic dyes, chemical food coloring, or other artificial colorants. Any color apparent in the product is naturally derived. Did you know? There are currently 7 petrochemical-derived artificial colors allowed in food today in the United States. Some of these are banned in other countries. Artificial coloring has been linked to adverse health effects. Certain food dyes have been known to trigger allergies and they have also been said to aggravate ADD and ADHD symptoms. Some companies make two kinds of the same food—one dyed for the U.S. market and one without banned dyes for the E.U. A widely noted example of this is Kraft’s macaroni and cheese. Natural foods tend to contain dyes derived from edible substances and plants including blueberries, carrots, and annatto.	Phthalate Free ▸ x No phthalates, chemicals used as solvents, scent carriers, and plasticizers, linked to endocrine disruption, cancer, reproductive and other disorders. Did you know? Phthalates are actually easy to pronounce (THAL-ates) but can be hard to avoid. They’re common in soft plastics, synthetic fragrances, and conventional personal care items like nail polish. Vinyl items like toys and shower curtains like can contain up to 40% phthalates by weight! They’re worth trying to avoid as they’ve been linked to cancer, reproductive and developmental disorders, and organ and nervous system damage. Like many chemicals, phthalates can easily escape from whatever they’re in. When they do, they wind up in our bodies, where they resist decay and accumulate over time. The more we encounter, the more we get stuck with. Studies show that virtually every single man, woman, and child in America has phthalates in their body today.
Egg Free ▸ x Products that do not contain eggs or any ingredient derived from eggs.	Raw ▸ x A raw food diet consists of uncooked foods, which have not had their enzymes and other nutrients destroyed or altered. Did you know? If you have to cook it, you can’t eat it. That’s why the typical raw food diet consists of about 75% fruits and vegetables. Don’t sell your stove just yet! A raw diet can include heated foods as long as temperatures don’t top 115°. Clear some counter space. Raw diet adherents report that maintaining culinary variety requires lots of different preparation equipment.
Family-Owned Business ▸ x Many of our products are family labors of love. Some of them come from multi-generation family businesses. We’re proud to have them as part of the Abe’s family.	Salt Free ▸ x Products that are low in sodium. Limiting one’s salt intake can aid in lowering high blood pressure, edema and many other health issues.
Full of Omega 3's ▸ x Essential fatty acids found in foods like fish and flaxseed. Studies show that their benefits include inflammation reduction and cardiovascular support. Did you know? Omega, the last letter of the Greek alphabet, means great O, which is pretty much the perfect name for a nutrient that has been proven to protect against heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and mental decline. None other than The American Heart Association recommends that heart disease patients consume one gram of omega-3s per day. Omega-3s don’t grow on trees. But they can be found in salmon, anchovies, sardines, and other fatty fish as well as flaxseed and canola oil.	Soy Free ▸ x These products do not contain soy or any ingredient derived from soy.
Full of Omega 6's ▸ x Essential fatty acids found in seeds, nuts, and vegetable oils widely believed to aid hormone production. Did you know? Omega-3s may get all the press, but omega-6 fatty acids are crucial, too. They’re said to help regulate metabolism and maintain reproductive health. Omega-6s grow on trees. They’re found in seeds, nuts, and the oils obtained from them as well as more earthbound foods like soy and meat. Take a breather; this is one nutrient you probably don’t have to worry about. The typical American diet naturally supplies plenty of omega-6s.	Sugar Free ▸ x Made without refined sugar, corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, or natural sweeteners like maple syrup or honey.
Gluten Free ▸ x Contains less than 20 parts per million of gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and their derivatives that can exacerbate celiac disease and other gastrointestinal disorders. Did you know? Celiac disease, a genetic disease and the most severe form of gluten intolerance, was thought to be an imaginary illness until the 3 million people who suffer it in the U.S. begged to disagree. Many still don’t know they have Celiac disease—95% of celiac sufferers are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Symptoms of gluten intolerance include rashes, fatigue, cramps, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation. To be gluten-free, you’ll need to skip more than wheat. Barley, rye, and their crossbreeds also contain gluten. Many foods that don’t contain wheat still use gluten, which is added to improve quality and texture. To avoid gluten, it helps to be an expert label reader.	Tree Nut Free ▸ x No tree nuts, legumes, or ingredients derived from them. Product is also manufactured in a facility that does not process nuts of any kind. Did you know? Not everyone is nuts about nuts. Some 1.8 million Americans are allergic to tree nuts, and 2% of the population has peanut allergies. Though peanuts are technically a legume, their proteins are similar to those in tree nuts. That’s why some people are allergic to both. A little can unfortunately go a long way—allergies can be triggered by as little as 1/2000th of a single nut. Vigilance is key! Nut ingredients can hide in dressings, sauces, veggie burgers, pastas, breading, pastry, and even body care products.
GMO Free ▸ x No genetically modified or engineered organisms or ingredients derived from them. Claim can be verified by the Non-GMO Project. Did you know? Surveys show that over 90% of Americans think GM foods should be labeled. 53% say they wouldn’t buy food that’s been genetically modified. The thing is, most of us are already buying GM foods. 80% of processed foods contain GMOs and 88% of all U.S. corn, 95% of sugar beets, and 94% of our soy is genetically modified. Unlike the U.S., Most countries have just said no to GMOs. Nearly 50 have banned or significantly restricted GM crops. Just five nations grow 90% of the world’s GM crops: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, India, and the U.S. Most GMOs are altered to resist herbicides or bugs. One type of corn makes its own pesticides. Those pesticides are now showing up inside people.	Vegan ▸ x A form of vegetarianism. No animal products are eaten, including dairy, eggs, and honey. Many vegans also avoid non-edible animal products like fur, leather, and wool. Did you know? Veganism doesn’t just affect what happens in your kitchen. It can also reduce your carbon footprint by 1.5 tons per year! Despite many worthy advantages, veganism has yet to win any popularity contests. Only 1.4% of American adults have decided to bite. Babies like it, too; vegan breast milk tests show it contains significantly lower levels of pollutants like pesticides and dioxins than non-vegan breast milk.
Halal ▸ x Foods and other products permitted under Islamic law, which includes strict animal slaughtering practices. Did you know? The opposite of halal is haram. These are forbidden foods and include pork, alcohol, blood, and meat from any animal not handled humanely. Mashbooh refers to foods that should be questioned because they can come from both halal and haram animals. Animal rights proponents sometimes choose halal meats because they’re said to come from animals that have been slaughtered without undue stress. With fish and seafood, fruits and vegetables, milk and eggs, and most fowl and animal meats on its menu, Halal offers lots to choose from.	Vegetarian ▸ x A diet that excludes meat products and their derivatives, but can include eggs, dairy and other animal-sourced foods Did you know? Americans are definitely eating their veggies: 46% say they eat vegetarian meals though only 4% say they are full-time vegetarians. A “flexitarian” is someone who has adopted a vegetarian diet, but only part time. Going whole hog is a good idea. Vegetarian diets have been linked to reduced obesity, coronary disease, blood pressure, diabetes, and cancer risk. Vegetarians have more time to enjoy their food than the rest of us; vegetarian diets are said to add 13 years to the average human lifespan!
High Fiber ▸ x Fiber, or roughage, is basically the part of plants that bodies cannot digest. It helps the immune as well as the digestive system to function. Did you know? High fiber foods include vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains. Improper fiber intake—too much or too little—can cause digestive problems.	Wheat Free ▸ x No wheat, kamut, spelt, or ingredients derived from them. Did you know? Wheat-free and gluten-free are not the same, though wheat contains gluten. Gluten is a protein found not only in wheat, but also in rye and barley. People who choose to avoid gluten often have Celiac disease. People who choose to avoid wheat tend to do so because it causes uncomfortable and sometimes allergic reactions in their bodies.
High Fructose Corn Syrup Free ▸ x This product is made without any high fructose corn syrup. Did you know? High fructose corn syrup is cheap and therefore ubiquitous in packaged products. It has also been linked to a number of health problems including obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. A fun documentary to watch on the topic is King Corn. HFCS pops up in unexpected places and in foods most of us don’t consider sweet, including sliced bread, cereal, soup, and condiments. A study done in 2009 found mercury contamination in samples of commercial HFCS.	Woman-Owned Business ▸ x The company producing the product is owned either wholly or in significant majority part by a woman or women. Did you know? Between 1997 and 2007, the number of women-owned businesses grew twice as fast as those started by men. A victory in the battle of the sexes? Still a ways to go... While women own 30% of privately held businesses, they’re only responsible for 13% of the sector’s employment. Women business owners do far more with much less. Studies show that they typically start with less capital than their male counterparts. They still manage to supply paychecks to 7.6 million employees. 7.2 million businesses in the U.S. are majority-owned by women.
Hypoallergenic ▸ x This unregulated term suggests the product contains no known allergens, isn’t likely to cause adverse reactions, and has significantly lower reaction rates compared to similar non-hypoallergenic products.	Yeast Free ▸ x Products made without yeast may be beneficial to individuals suffering from candidiasis and other conditions related to microbiome imbalances. Did you know? Since yeast feeds on sugar, people eating yeast-free diets also avoid sugar. If a digestive tract becomes overrun with yeast, it is said to lead to digestive upset (that’s a nice way of saying gas, diarrhea and bloating).
Kosher ▸ x Literally clean, fit, or proper. Refers to food permitted under Judaic law. Also refers to practices related to the slaughter and production of animals and animal products. Did you know? Kosher meats and dairy must come from ruminants. These are animals with cloven hooves that chew cud, like sheep and steer. Kosher animals must be slaughtered instantly and painlessly. When it comes to kosher poultry, chicken, turkey, goose, and duck are allowed. For seafood, fish with fins and scales are permitted, but shellfish and crustaceans are not. Meat and dairy cannot be combined or eaten together. You can have chocolate milk, just not with your hamburger. Pareve products contain no meat or dairy and so are “neutral” foods that may be served with either.
