Linseed, also known as flax, is a versatile annual grown for both its nutritious seeds and its fibre, which has been used since ancient times to produce linen. The slender plants grow to around 40 cm tall and produce delicate blue flowers. The seeds are naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, fibre and a range of vitamins and minerals. They can be added whole or ground to cereals, breads, crackers, biscuits and other baked goods, soaked overnight for breakfast dishes, or used as a plant-based egg substitute in baking. Linseed also produces excellent microgreens (but is not recommended for sprouting) and is a valued feed supplement for laying poultry. For best germination and freshness, store seed in the refrigerator.
Approximately 5,000 seeds per packet

Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
