Flax seeds vs Lin seeds, what's the difference?
-
What's the difference between the two? In terms or health benefits and mixing with smoothies/ protein shakes. From my limited research Lin seeds are cheaper and I have read they are both the same. So why the difference in names and price? I wanted to incorporate Flax seeds into my diet but then ran into Lin seeds so now i'm thinking which ones to buy.

Answer:
A2A, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flax is also known as Linseed. There is no difference. I can find 10oz. bags of it at my dollar store, or spend $4+ on a 12oz bag of 'organic' at a specialty food store. I doubt there is a significant difference since there doesn't appear to be a need to use fertilizer or insecticide in cultivating flax. In 2009 there was a variety of GM flax from Canada called 'Triffid' that was intended forĀ animal fodder but not approved in the EU for human consumption. It reportedly has been eliminated from all production, but there is some concern that cross-contamination may have kept some of the residual genetic material in subsequent production. If there are risks to humans ingesting the GMO version I am unaware of specific problems.
