Hi Roy,
Great question! The answer will depend on whether you have Whole Flax seed or Cold Milled Flax.

Whole Flax Seed -

If you have the whole flax seed, then your flax (because it is a seed) could technically last up to 7 years.

However, we recommend to use it within 2-3 years -then you KNOW you are getting all the nutritional value of the flax.
(And really if you don't eat it within that time, you probably aren't experiencing all the incredible benefits of the powerful seed!)

Cold Milled Flax Seed -

If you are wondering about the of cold milled flax shelf life, then that is usually ~2 years after it has been milled and packaged and it will have the 'best by date' on the container.

Here's to your health!

"Even at the full price the Cold Milled Flax is still cheaper than Metamucil or other fiber supplements that run about $12 for only 15 ounces! That's a great deal!"

"Ellie, Thanks for your email. Just a short testament: Have been trying for years to get my cholesterol numbers to be on the healthy side. Got your flax at the farmers market this past summer and took your advice on consuming it. Had a blood test 2 weeks ago and my Cholesterol number is at 181, down from 262. Healthy eating and exercise: definitely the way to go. Thanks again."

"I have several health problems: Type 2 Diabetes + Constipation being my top complaints. When I was introduced to Golden Flax seed, I was drinking fiber daily + lived on Senna. I no longer have to buy Senna or fiber."

"My hot flashes were so bad and I had up to 3 or 4 times in the night. My sleep was interrupted, not to mention the embarrassment of breaking out in a sweat and a red face during conversations.... Oh boy, I have not had a hot flash for about 3 weeks."

"The best thing that happened is that it has really helped stabilize my blood sugar. When blood sugar is stable without a lot of peaks + valleys, it's easier to lose weight + I'm game for that."
-- Thanks, Sherrie
