what is the difference between brown and golden flaxseeds?

The gold is tastier and has a somewhat nutty taste. I put it on my cereal for breakfast.

I think the terminology has to do with the supplier - I use them interchangeably -

I purchase the golden as the taste is milder. If there is a nutritional difference, I am unaware.

I'm not sure what the white bag says but, flax seed comes in a golden color and it comes in a dark brown color. For my baking purposes, I prefer the golden. There may be a difference in taste and nutrition, but I haven't done any research on it.

I'm not sure how to tell the difference. You would probably have to ask the seller. Mine are planted already and I am waiting for them to come up.

I have no idea, but since this works for me, . . . I suggest you compare the process of Bob's Red Mill Organic Flaxseed... with the previous one you bought. Sorry

I'm not really sure, but both are comparable to a regular jar of peanut butter. I think the bonus comes in with the Protein and Flax. Definitely a must buy though.

Not sure , but would guess that white due to golden color of oil and that black seeds are more rare?

There is no difference. My previous purchase of this product cost $23.97 for a pack of 3. Now the price by this vendor, which was originally supplied directly from Amazon is now $40.99. It has almost doubled. What a shame! I originally started to use it to make cat food for my Mr. Pumpkin before he died of lymphoma. Now I use it along with omega 3 oil capsules to keep a feral colony of cats on an increased fat diet for the winter. They love the oil and are all doing so well on it! Hope this helps!

They are ground flaxseed but not sure if they're golden. The ingredient listed says Organic Cold Milled Ground Flaxseed.

I own both of these and I would say that the differences between them are slight. The green one has the brass ring and the padding is the same density in both. However, one difference I have noticed is that the brown one is more rigid compared to the green one. In use, you can't really tell a difference. They both feel the same. But the brown one bends less than the green one.

This appears to be golden flaxseed meal. It is ground, and I find it to be very smooth and easy to mix with orange juice. It is much milder than regular flaxseed meal.

This is an excerpt found on the web: "Most brown flax seeds are grown in Canada, the world leader in flax production. The golden variety is mainly grown in the U.S., especially in North Dakota."

The picture is not clear, even when enlarged, but I am reasonably sure that Bob's Red Mill only offers the golden (as opposed to regular or brown) flaxseed in the ground version (as opposed to whole). I just bought a fresh supply yesterday at the grocery store, it is ground and the package looks like this. BTW, I store it in a glass jar in the freezer and use it in breads.

To our taste, the golden flax meal has less flax flavor, milder, and more palatable.

flaxseed oil contains more ALA than flaxseeds. Flaxseeds are a whole food and therefore contain a host of other nutrients that are not included in its extracted oil.

I have bought Navitas Naturals Cacao Butter from Wholes Foods prior to this purchase. When comparing the 2, the one from Whole Foods had a seriously rich/heady chocolaty type smell, a rich yellow, and was buttery to the touch. This stuff I bought from Amazon barely had a scent to it, pale yellow with specks of white, and was extremely dried out. Now that is not to say it was not 100% raw but either this product is a bit more processed or extremely old
