Storage - Whole flax seed which is clean, dry and of good quality, can be stored at room temperature for up to a year. For optimum freshness, ground flax seed should be ground as needed. Unused ground flax seed can be refrigerated in an airtight container if it will be used in just a matter of days, or it can be stored in the freezer for about a month.

Recommended Daily Usage - To get the maximum benefits from our Omega-3 golden flax seeds we recommend using 3 tbsp of ground flax seeds per day. A 20 lb supply of unground flax seeds will generally last one person for about one year.
