Question 1

Can this be stored in the freezer?

Accepted Answer

yes, I make it a habit to store ground flax in the freezer.  Place in portions in ziploc bags, squeeze out all the air.  It will keep a couple of months, depending on what your horse needs.  I also used mine for sugar free cookies (cushings).  I may also add that if you grind your own flax, it will keep its nutrients longer...when it arrives ground, it may not be as potent as fresh ground.

Question 2

how many days does the 8lbs last for 1 horse getting 1oz once a day?

Accepted Answer

8lbs has 128 ounces. This is an excellent product and worth every penny. Outstanding results in my horses' health, coat, and hooves.

Question 3

I am struggling to remove the lid! Is there another product that comes in a sealed bag?  Also dont like all the plastic waste from the bucket.....

Accepted Answer

I know that lid is ridiculous.   Did you find something else in a bag?

Question 4

How is this product treated so it doesn’t spoil? Fresh ground flaxseed will spoil in a few days

Accepted Answer

Simply Flax is milled using a relatively gentle rolling process.  One way I think about it is that the flaxseed is “torn” versus “smashed”.

As a result of this rolling process, the vesicles which contain the oil remain largely intact, thereby not exposing the oil to oxygen.  Exposure of the oil to oxygen is what leads to oxidative rancidity, giving the product that off aroma.  In comparison, with conventional grinding, may of the vesicles which contain the oil are ruptured, thus exposing it to oxygen and the resulting rancidity.
